To say thank you to ice cream fans, Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops around the world will serve up a free scoop of ice cream in a cup or cone from noon to 8 p.m. April 3.

Ben & Jerry’s has two Tampa Bay area Scoop Shop locations, and both will be participating: 1106 Gramercy Lane, Tampa, 813-774-6244; and 409 Mandalay Ave., Clearwater Beach, 727-335-3708.

Can’t decide what flavor you want? That’s OK. You can get in line again and again and get as many flavors as you want.

Ben & Jerry’s started Free Cone Day in 1979 in its first location, a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont. It has grown to an eight-hour global celebration.
