Ben & Jerry’s Grand Opening

Saw a news clip about the grand opening of the first Ben & Jerry’s ice cream store in Hawaii at the Victoria Ward Centre. Happened to be in the Ward area when the store opened at 11AM. First 50 through the door got free ice cream. Local news stations were there covering the grand opening although I didn’t recognize any of the reporters.

As the 28th customer, I got the Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz which was okay. Regular items are pricey. A single scoop of ice cream goes for $4. Can’t you get a pint of Ben & Jerry’s at the supermarket for that cost?

Will this place survive? Location is kinda out of the way by Borders, Kicks Hawaii, and the construction. Also, Coldstone is right down the street and is closer to the movie theaters to catch the moviegoers.

Of course, I got a few pictures. No great shots though.
