NORTH WEBSTER — The North Webster-Tippecanoe Township Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday, May 11, at Skoops, a new family-owned ice cream shop located in downtown North Webster.
The new business is owned by Jamal and Amanda Meerzo. The couple owns The River, a coffee shop in North Webster. Amanda stated an ice cream shop just made sense in a community she said she “loves.”
“I love this town, and we are very active in the community,” she said, adding specifically the couple supports the North Webster Community Center.
The ice cream store offers 12 flavors, 11 of which are standard ones.
“We carry Hudsonville and Ashby’s ice cream,” said Amanda.
Skoops will also have a different ice cream on a rotating basis. It also serves soft serve ice cream, root beer floats, malts and shakes.
Skoops also carries dairy-free ice cream and a no-sugar flavor.
The couple has four children and has been married 17 years.
Hours are noon to 9 p.m. except Tuesday and Wednesday.
A grand opening will be from 5-7 p.m. Saturday, May 12. For more information, visit its Facebook page.
