That’s a total of 900 minutes of sunshine and 45,000 free pints of ice cream, according to a company release.
Offer is good for any pint of Kroger brand ice cream, including Mint Chocolate Chip, Vivid Vanilla and Kroger Brand Deluxe Tie Dye Burst flavors.

When is the summer solstice?
This year, the summer solstice will occur on Thursday, June 20, which marks the first astronomical day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. This also means that it is the day with the longest daylight hours of the year, and subsequent daylight hours will become increasingly shorter until the winter solstice on December 21.
Things are the opposite in the southern hemisphere: June 20 will mark the start of the winter season, with the summer solstice on December 21.
