Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams To Open in Alpharetta

ALPHARETTA, GA -- A popular ice cream shop will soon open in Alpharetta.

North American Properties announced on Tuesday that Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams will open a scoop shop at Avalon, the 86-acre mixed-use community along Old Milton Parkway.

The shop is expected to open in April 2017.

“Jeni’s is one of the top ice cream purveyors in Atlanta, and we’re excited to welcome them to Avalon’s acclaimed culinary lineup,” said Carla Toro, director of marketing at Avalon. “Next spring, our guests will enjoy cooling off with a waffle cone full of Jeni’s unique ice cream flavors as they shop, dine and explore Avalon’s expansion.”

Jeni’s currently operates three scoop shops in Atlanta, all in vibrant communities with high foot traffic and impressive retail and dining options. The Avalon shop – opening as part of Avalon’s expansion – will be the first Jeni’s location in the Atlanta suburbs, demonstrating Avalon’s continued ability to draw intown culinary talent.

"We were honored to be asked to be a part of Alpharetta's growing community, and think we'll fit right in," said Jeni Britton Bauer, Jeni's founder and chief creative officer. "Atlanta has been so good to us, and we're excited to grow our community in such a world-class city."

The scoop shop will open as a “jewel box” in the center of Avalon Boulevard, as part of Avalon’s expansion.

This expansion will bring additional retail, office and living space to the development as well as The Hotel at Avalon, an Autograph Collection hotel, and the Alpharetta Conference Center, which will open in early 2018. Retailers and restaurants confirmed for the expansion include Brooks Brothers, Urban Outfitters, Rumi’s Kitchen, Barleygarden Craft Kitchen and Bar, Boogaloos, Scout & Molly’s, Hammer Made, The Boardroom Salon for Men, Lucky Brand, Levi’s, MF Bar, District 3 and Brine Fish House.
