\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>Stapleton Cold Stone Creamery Manager Mark Fitzpatrick could barely believe it after a sixth customer was served in just under 90 minutes. \u201cWe never thought the record was something even close to attainable,\u201d said Fitzpatrick. \u201cWe wanted to work hard, satisfy customers, and if we got the record, great, but it was never talked about.\u201d Even more special for Fitzpatrick and the rest of the crew at the Stapleton store is that it was done the year of the 25th anniversary of Cold Stone.\n\nThe previous record of five was held by two stores, one in Cedar Falls, Iowa (1993) and the other in Alma, Michigan (2002). Store employees involved in the record received a free milk shake courtesy of Cold Stone, however, most of them did not have the time to wait around for their prize. \u201cIt is really special,\u201d said record-holder Andy Gustafson. \u201cThe team was rockin\u2019 it, we were singing songs, ringing the bell, and we were still able to break it. Just a special group back there.\u201d\nThe Stapleton team warded off early criticisms of the record that claimed that many of the six customers simply ordered a scoop of plain ice cream. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t the case at all,\u201d said Fitzpatrick. \u201cWe were able to track and prove that there was nothing ordinary about the orders, and people were demanding about the toppings they wanted.\u201d\nOver the years, some have questioned how the ice cream shop maintains a profit when they typically turn over so few customers. \u201cWe do not have a traditional business model,\u201d claimed Fitzpatrick. \u201cPeople ask us how we get paid. I always say, \u2018satisfaction.\u2019\u201d ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
