Long time downtown Minneapolis ice cream staple Izzy's is preparing to close their scoop shop doors.
Izzy’s Ice Cream is making big changes as we rebuild our company in the midst of these challenging times. We will be closing our Minneapolis Ice Cream shop on August 31st. You will still be able to get Izzy’s Ice Cream at local grocery stores and via online shopping and shipping nationwide. ❤️ We are profoundly grateful for all of the moments that we have shared with all of you: the community of people that have built, enjoyed, experienced, supported, and sustained our vision for an ice cream company has been nothing short of amazing -- we have celebrated thousands of special events and moments with you, your families, friends and businesses. For this, we are profoundly grateful. ❤️ We are excited to launch into the next 20 years of Izzy’s Ice Cream and we hope to share that journey with you. We too feel the depth of the loss of the Izzy’s Ice Cream shop experience and know how much we are collectively losing -- as a company, we remain committed to our mission and to our core values and we hope to share many more great moments with you in the future. It is our greatest privilege to be in business and to earn the opportunity to be in business tomorrow. We ask you for your trust and your support as we reinvent. ❤️ Respectfully yours, Jeff and Lara
