Carvel Hosts Eight-Day Grand Opening Celebration for New Long Beach Shoppe

Carvel is celebrating the grand opening of its new Long Beach shoppe, located at 975 West Beech Street, with eight days of delicious deals. The weeklong celebration will culminate with an all-day celebration with the shoppe offering all guests a Free Jr. Cup or Cone on Sunday, November 9.

Carvel of Long Beach is owned and operated by franchise partners Zaya Givargidze, Jimmy Patrakis and Billy Patrakis. Givargidze, a second generation shoppe owner, also operates the Massapequa location his family opened in 1969. The location is recognized by Rabbi Yisrael Mayer Steinberg for being Kosher certified and has been awarded a certificate of Kashrus by the South Shore Vaad. All of the shoppe’s products are prepared in compliance with Hilchos Kashrus.

“This celebration is our way of thanking Long Beach for welcoming us into the community,” said Givargidze. “Whether it’s to enjoy our fresh, handmade ice cream that’s prepared in the shoppe or pick up one of our signature ice cream novelties, we proudly offer guests certified Kosher products. We hope to serve residents for years to come, continuing the tradition my family started more than 40 years ago.”
