Frozen Custard Shop Coming To Arlington Center

A NY-based chain of custard shops is bringing its fourth Boston-area location to Arlington.

ARLINGTON, MA – Arlington Center will soon be your stop for frozen custard. A New York-based chain of custard shops, Abbott's Frozen Custard, is opening in the former Artful Heart space on Broadway.

The news was first reported by Boston Restaurant Talk, citing the "Locations" page on the chain's website. The Arlington location will be the chain's fourth in the Boston area; Abbott's also has shops in Brighton, Needham and Lexington.

Abbott's opened its first shop in Rochester, NY in 1926, 24 years after founder Arthur Abbott started selling frozen custard at carnivals along the east coast. It now has 40 locations spanning Massachusetts to Florida.
