“Celebrating 10 years Downtown is incredibly special for our family,” said Dana Edwards Manatos, CEO of MilkShake Factory. ““Pittsburgh has been home to our family and our business for generations, and this store has given us a special place to share that tradition with so many people. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has walked through our doors over the past decade and made this location part of their own Pittsburgh memories.”
The company dates back to 1914, when two Grecian immigants opened their first chocolate shop and soda fountain in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood. The MilkShake Factory name was launched in 1995 at the chain’s now-closed South Side location.
