Rhode Island's Most Iconic Ice Cream Shop Named By Business Insider

Business Insider named each state's most iconic ice cream shop, and Rhode Island's is in Tiverton.

"Nothing beats cooling off with an ice-cream cone on a hot summer day," Business Insider posited.

"And no matter whether you're strolling a beach boardwalk, exploring a small town, or taking a road trip across the country, a stop at a beloved local ice cream shop is a summer tradition in every state," according to Business Insider.

"To identify the most iconic ice cream shop in each state, we considered longtime local institutions, award-winning or nationally revered spots, and shops whose signature flavors have become closely associated with their states and communities," the site explained.

Business Insider's pick for Rhode Island was Gray's Ice Cream in Tiverton.

Gray's Ice Cream, which also has a location in Bristol, "has been serving homemade ice cream since 1923 and remains one of Rhode Island's quintessential roadside stops and the state's oldest operating ice cream shop," according to Business Insider.

"The family-owned shop is especially popular during the summer, when visitors line up for generous scoops after a day at the beach," Business Insider said.
