Owner Cynthia Foster says she has bought the dairy bar that has been a staple in St. Stephen for the past nineteen years, re-named it and re-vamped it into a new and inproved business.
Foster tells Tide News, "It's a completely different business. A new business. But you're not going to be able to tell the average Joe in St. Stephen when they see the same two faces behind the counter, it's still the same place as far as they're concerned."
Foster says she will be opening the store at their new location on Milltown Blvd in St. Stephen, directly beside Chocolate Park, with lots of new things added to the menu. Foster says, "We will still have over 50 flavors of hard icecream, and over 50 flavors of soft icecream, but we are intruducing fresh fruit smoothies, frozen yogurt, coffee, and baked goods." Foster adds, your favorite desserts will be much fresher. "Your apple crisp for your apple crisp sundaes, they will be made. Your strawberry toppings are going to be made from the strawberries I buy from Tuddenham's and make the simple syrup out of. Same with your blueberries and anything like that, everything will be locally purchased, locally broke down into a syrup. Everything will be local. Local, local, local."
Foster says Miss Scoops Dairy Bar will be never close again, making the new business open all-year-round, offer birthday parties for kids, and all of their supplies from icecream containers to cleaning items are eco-friendly. Foster says, "I want to make the store as "green" as possible so an icecream dish isn't still kicking around when my grandbaby grows up."
Miss Scoops will open Thursday, May 9th.
