 Recipes which can help transform your Arctic Express/Swirl Scoops station into a shake/malt/smoothie station are in development. However, keep in mind that the dominant flavors for premium ice cream are vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. You can consider special promotions in which you combine 2+ flavors in a single cup or cone.

The growth in the category is with super-premium and premium ice cream, not ice milk, yogurt or other trendy flavors. The growth in the category is in premium ice cream, not soft serve nor low fat ice creams.
