Rainbow Cone was founded in 1926 by "Grandpa Joe" Sapp, who was never satisfied with just one ice cream flavor and instead stacked five delicious options on a single cone for a one-of-a-kind culinary classic. The original shop's notorious pink building on Western Avenue in Chicago has been a staple in the city since it first opened its doors nine decades ago, with hundreds of thousands of dedicated customers from around the world. The brand has since expanded to kiosks and trucks throughout the Chicago area and launched its new franchise partner program in 2022 with franchise locations in Florida, Nashville and other regions.

"The passion for Rainbow Cone's flavors, history, and legacy has carried its tradition for nearly a century at our original southside Chicago location," said Lynn Sapp, third-generation Owner of The Original Rainbow Cone. "For our Rainbow Cone family to see this continue to new communities, and Grandpa Joe's continued success, is an incredible joy. He would have been elated."

In addition to a grand opening event at the new Orland Park Rainbow Cone, the company will also host giveaways, and other festivities to celebrate the new location with the region. For more information about Rainbow Cone, visit https://rainbowcone.com
