TL;DR
MilkShake Factory is opening a new location in Scottsdale, AZ on May 30, 2026, owned and operated by franchisees Greg Harmon and Carsen Wisniewski. The new store is the brand's second location in Arizona, following the Chandler location.
To celebrate, the Scottsdale Seville MilkShake Factory will host a grand opening event from 12 PM to 4 PM, featuring a buy one, get one free offer on shakes, sundaes, and molten cups, free MilkShake Factory T-shirts for the first 100 guests, and festive giveaways throughout the afternoon.
The Scottsdale Seville store is owned and operated by franchisees Greg Harmon and Carsen Wisniewski, who first discovered MilkShake Factory through a franchise consultant.
“Our Chandler opening reinforced what we loved about MilkShake Factory from the beginning,” said Greg Harmon, owner of MilkShake Factory Scottsdale Seville. “It is the kind of concept people understand right away because it feels familiar, fun and high-quality. After seeing how guests responded in Chandler, we knew Scottsdale would be a strong next step for us.”
MilkShake Factory was founded in 1914 as a soda fountain and chocolate shop. It produces milkshakes with housemade ice cream and offers customization with premium mix-ins and toppings. The chocolates are produced using traditional techniques.
Located opposite McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, the new Scottsdale Seville store sits in a lively area with community activity and visitor traffic.
“Being across from McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park makes this location feel especially exciting,” said Harmon. “It is easy to imagine families stopping in after a park visit, kids coming by after playdates, or visitors making us part of their Scottsdale plans. That is what we love about MilkShake Factory. It naturally fits into the moments people are already sharing together.”
The Scottsdale Seville opening marks MilkShake Factory’s location in Arizona as one of its top locations. For Harmon and Wisniewski, the new store is their second location with the brand, following their Chandler location.
The menu includes milkshakes, sundaes, molten chocolate cups, and housemade chocolates. Each item is prepared with ice cream made in-store daily.
