16 Handles Celebrates National Ice Cream Day with Free Ice Cream and Launches First Gelato Flavor

This Sunday, June 15th, 16 Handles is celebrating National Ice Cream Day by gifting free soft-serve ice cream and frozen yogurt to 16 Handles rewards members. The brand is also launching their first gelato flavor – Raspberry Lemon Gelato. Crafted with all-natural ingredients like fresh raspberries and lemon, the Raspberry Lemon Gelato is a refreshingly tasty flavor exclusive to the 16 Handles Artisan Collection.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate our loyal fans by rewarding them on National Ice Cream Day – it’s one of the many perks of using our mobile app,” says CEO and founder, Solomon Choi. “16 Handles is all about having something for everyone. Last summer, we launched ice cream for the first time, and this summer we’ve expanded our offerings to include soft-serve gelato.”

Customers must download the 16 Handles app to claim their 3 ounces of free soft-serve, which can be redeemed by scanning the app’s QR code at the register.
