Sorry for the delay, folks.

The grand opening of The Igloo, a dessert shop located in Fishtown at 1514 Frankford Avenue, has been postponed until later this month, the date of which is yet to be determined. It was originally planned to commence operations on Saturday, April 2. However, due to unforeseen renovative delays, we will have to hold out for just a few more weeks.

When the new establishment does open, customers will be treated to free samples of all frozen desserts. There will also be a face painter as well as a raffle for a $100 gift card to Heffe Tacos (winner to be announced at 4PM).

The shop will offer custard, ice cream, water ice, shakes, affogatos and homemade Igloo Pops. Included also on the menu are soft-serve frozen Greek yogurt and salted caramel gelatos, as well as dark chocolate Italian sorbets.

The Igloo’s flagship site is located at the intersection of 23rd and South Streets. Owners Isaac Parker, Bill Chlebowski and Caroline Smith hope to create through the new shop a welcoming, community-oriented hotspot at which the locals can gather.
