It began in 1984 when President Ronald Reagan declared the third Sunday of July National Ice Cream Day and since then businesses have celebrated the day with deals on the tasty treat.
This Sunday, the tradition continues. National chains are offering deals and freebies on ice cream treats.
Below are a few places that have deals on the cold, creamy treat.
(Note: Not every restaurant in a chain may be honoring the deals, so be sure to check with local restaurants to confirm which deals are available before you go. Most offers can’t be used with any other discount or coupons. Prices may vary with location.)
