????iCream公司一半是乳品店，一半是實驗室。在員工讓店里的觸摸屏分配系統(tǒng)準備好以前，公司里穿著白圍裙的員工正使用燒杯和注射器精確稱量各種配料。這套系統(tǒng)能產(chǎn)出一股深度速凍的液態(tài)氮。憑借100萬種口味和顏色的組合，iCream公司每年服務的顧客多達7萬人。

????這家店是聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人科拉?肖的點子。這位37歲的美食頻道忠實觀眾在芝加哥大學（the University of Chicago）攻讀工商管理碩士（MBA）就讀期間想出了這個創(chuàng)意。聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人詹森?麥肯尼35歲，是商業(yè)訴訟律師，也是她在布斯商學院（the University of Chicago）的同班同學。倆人一起制定了iCream的商業(yè)計劃書，并在一堂新創(chuàng)企業(yè)戰(zhàn)略課上對其進行了完善，隨后店面于2009年3月正式開門營業(yè)。

????這家店幾乎能滿足所有顧客對飲食禁忌的要求，而肖的目標就是讓每個人都能吃上適合自己的冰淇淋?，F(xiàn)在，iCream公司計劃于2012年早些時候開設第一家特許加盟店。

????Part creamery, part laboratory, iCream's white-aproned staff uses beakers and syringes to precisely measure ingredients before staff members prep the shop's touch screen distribution system, which releases a deep-freeze blast of liquid nitrogen. With one million flavor and color combinations, iCream serves 70,000 customers annually.

????The shop was the brainchild of co-founder Cora Shaw, 37, a Food Network junkie who had the idea while pursuing an MBA at the University of Chicago. With Booth School of Business classmate, commercial litigator and co-founder Jason McKinney, 35, the iCream business plan was honed for a new venture strategy class and opened its doors in March 2009.

????With options that can fit nearly any dietary restriction, it's Shaw's goal that everyone can find a scoop that suits. iCream plans to open its first franchise location in early 2012.
