Family-Friendly Sundae Kits

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Friendly's Restaurants Created DIY Ice Cream Kits to Entertain Kids

— April 8, 2020 — Lifestyle
Friendly's Restaurants is now giving people the chance to purchase its new Family Ice Cream Sundae Kit via takeout and delivery services. The kit was created in response to an elevated demand for ice cream, as well as the need for hands-on activities during a stay-at-home mandate.

Upon ordering the box, families will find all of the essentials for making decadent sundaes at home, including ice cream in the customer's choice of flavor, three toppings, whipped toppings, plus cups and cones so that everyone in the household can create a sweet treat of their own.

Due to global circumstances, customers may not be able to order from their favorite food and beverage providers as the same ways as before but they are being given new ways to support businesses they enjoy.
