The Union Station ice cream shop will be giving out free scoops to anyone who can prove they're named Ben or Jerry.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — The Ben and Jerry's that opened in Downtown's Union Station this summer is hosting an official grand opening this week, and co-founder Ben Cohen is going to be there in person to help advertise the new shop.

Thursday through Saturday from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., visitors lucky enough to be named Ben or Jerry (and you have to prove it with photo ID), will receive a free scoop of ice cream. For the rest of us, the ice cream chain is offering 2-for-1 deals on their Greek yogurt on Friday, and free scoops of ice cream for anyone wearing tie-dye on Saturday.

Cohen will only be there on Thursday but Woody, the companies trademark cow, will be available for photo ops all three days.
