Häagen-Dazs To Open New Scoop Shop At Norwalk Mall

NORWALK, CT — Häagen-Dazs and the SoNo Collection have confirmed plans to open a new scoop shop in the mall early next year.

Lindsay Kahn, a spokesperson for Brookfield Properties, the mall's operator, said in an email to Patch the new scoop shop will open on the third floor of the SoNo Collection between the Starbucks coffee shop and Journeys store near Nordstrom.

"There is an anticipated opening of early 2024," Kahn said.

Helen Whitmire, a representative for Dreyer's, which produces Häagen-Dazs products in the U.S., also confirmed the company's plans to expand into the Norwalk mall, with a hopeful opening date planned for the spring.

"The shop will be located on the top floor of SoNo Collection," Whitmire said in an email to Patch. "Hopefully it will be opened by mid-March, depending on construction and permits."

A large barricade sign advertising the forthcoming scoop shop, which notes that "deliciousness [is] coming soon," has already been set up on the third floor of the mall.

The new scoop shop will join Starbucks, which opened at the mall in September, as new businesses continue to be added to the mall's top floor.

It was also mark the brand's fourth scoop shop in Connecticut, which also has locations in Danbury, Trumbull and Ledyard.

Earlier this year, premium sneaker store Soleply opened at the mall, specializing in exclusive, rare and vintage sneakers and clothing. The SoNo Collection is located at 100 N. Water Street.

Greater Norwalk Chamber President Brian Griffin said the chamber was pleased to see the announcement of another great addition to the mall.

"They have been doing an excellent job of continuing to bring in exciting and interesting businesses and experiences into the venue," Griffin said in an email, "and we look forward to the next."
