Free Ice Cream At Popular Store In Charlotte, North Carolina
If you’re a lover of ice cream, you’ll be happy to know the popular Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams is opening another location in Charlotte. Jeni’s already has three locations in the Queen City, but will open a new one in south Charlotte in the Blakeney Town Center.
Jeni’s new location is located at 9828 Rea Road. It opens in January 2023. The grand opening of the new space is January 12, 7-11 p.m. and the exciting news is during that time, you can get free scoops of ice cream. And that’s not all. The first 50 people in line get swag bags filled with extra goodies.
The ice cream selection includes some of Jeni’s classic flavors including Brambleberry Crisp and Salty Caramel. There will be seasonal flavors, too, such as Blackout Chocolate Cake and Goat Cheese with Red Cherries.
About Jeni’s
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams has been one of the most popular ice cream shops in town. In my opinion, it’s because of their unique, one-of-a-kind flavors. All inspired by the curiosity of its founder Jeni Britton Bauer. Jeni was a 22-year-old art and history student fascinated with scents. She experimented with blending her own oils. As stated on her website, once she added cayenne to some chocolate ice cream and took a bite. And the rest is history.
Jeni started making ice cream in 1996. She opened the first Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams in Columbus, Ohio in 2002. Since then she’s opened scoop shops in over 20 states and written three cookbooks, including “Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home,” which earned a 2012 James Beard Award.
According to the company’s website, Jeni’s builds ice creams completely from scratch using a unique recipe honed and perfected over more than 20 years by our founder, Jeni Britton. Our ice creams have a uniquely smooth texture and buttercream body, with a bright flavor and clean finish. We’re here to set new standards for ice cream classics and to create our own. At Jeni’s, you’ll find flavors inspired by our curiosities—art, history, pop culture, and beyond—that simply don’t exist anywhere else.
