Opening Date Announced For Popular Milkshake Chain In Stamford

STAMFORD, CT — MilkShake Factory, the popular dessert destination known for hand-spun milkshakes and small-batch premium chocolates, will make its Connecticut debut in Stamford on Saturday, Nov. 1.

Located at 1109 High Ridge Center, Unit No. 10, the shop brings MilkShake Factory’s menu of shakes, sundaes, molten chocolate cups, and housemade chocolates to Fairfield County.

To celebrate, the Stamford store will host a grand opening event from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., featuring music, giveaways, and a special buy-one-get-one-free offer on all shakes, sundaes, and molten cups.

The first 100 guests will receive free MilkShake Factory T-shirts, and the first customer in line will take home a special prize basket.

"Stamford is the perfect place for MilkShake Factory because families, students, and neighbors are out and about every day, and there has been a real gap for premium ice cream and handcrafted chocolates," said Stamford MilkShake Factory General Manager Norissa Weston, in an announcement. "High Ridge Center is a vibrant hub with a great mix of tenants, and we’re ready to be everyone’s new go-to spot for a sweet treat, an after-dinner shake, or a box of chocolates to share."

The brand is looking to grow in Connecticut with a planned Darien location targeting early in the second quarter of 2026.

Family-owned since 1914, the company evolved from an old-fashioned soda fountain to an iconic dessert destination in Pittsburgh. It has since expanded to more than a dozen states.

MilkShake Factory’s menu features indulgent milkshake favorites like Chocolate Dipped Strawberry and Campfire S’mores, along with handcrafted sundaes, molten chocolate cups, and a rotating selection of housemade chocolate treats.

Guests can also look forward to seasonal limited-time offerings debuting this holiday season.

Every item is made with MilkShake Factory’s signature ice cream, created fresh in store daily using the Edwards family’s exclusive recipe.

The Stamford store will be open daily from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.
