Built Around Ice Cream
Built Around Families
Our History
Swensen’s Ice Cream Parlor had served at this location between 1977 and 2013. Sadly, it was no longer economically viable to remain affiliated with Swensen’s.
Although we have a new name, we continue with a very similar menu concept, similar coupons and customer specials, including our very popular “Meal Deal” as well as the same friendly staff who have been serving you.
We also will continue to make all of our delicious creamy 16% butterfat premium ice cream at our restaurant.
Thank you for your support over the last 40 years and we look forward to seeing you soon!
