Chicago's Iconic Rainbow Cone Makes Sweet Move to Southern California with Three New Locations

The Original Rainbow Cone, a beloved ice cream institution hailing from Chicago, is set to make a sweet debut on the shores of Southern California. The Buona Companies have forged a multi-unit agreement with local entrepreneur Anne Hsiung, paving the way for three Rainbow Cone locations to delight ice cream enthusiasts in the sunny state.

For Anne Hsiung, the connection to Rainbow Cone runs deep, rooted in memorable childhood experiences in Chicago. A dedicated fan of the iconic five-flavor ice cream cone – embracing chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House, pistachio, and orange sherbet – Hsiung saw an opportunity to bring this cherished taste of nostalgia to the West Coast.

Driven by a desire to create a family business and share the joy of Rainbow Cone with the community, Anne's decision to introduce the brand to Southern California is a labor of love. Embracing the company's rich legacy and unique offerings, she aims to provide locals with not just ice cream, but an experience that stirs up memories of simpler times and pure delights.

Expressing enthusiasm for the expansion, Joe Buonavolanto III, the Executive Vice President of The Buona Companies, highlighted the significance of taking Rainbow Cone beyond its Chicago origins and into new territories. With plans to offer additional ice cream flavors, sundaes, and ice cream cakes at the Southern California locations, Rainbow Cone is poised to weave its delicious tapestry of flavors throughout the region, one cone at a time.

As the vibrant hues of Rainbow Cone's signature treats prepare to paint Southern California in a spectrum of delectable delights, both Anne Hsiung and The Buona Companies are eager to invite locals on a nostalgic journey through the beloved flavors of yesteryear.
