Scoop ‘N Scootery to open its first Long Island location

Scoop ‘N Scootery, a growing ice cream shop and delivery concept, is coming to Long Island.

The chain will open a shop at 995 Hempstead Turnpike in Franklin Square early next year.

Scoop ‘N Scootery began when Tufts University student Austin Crittenden had an idea to deliver ice cream with a scooter to other students. Not long after, an ice cream truck became the business vehicle and eventually the concept opened its first brick-and-mortar store.

Today, Scoop ‘N Scootery has a dozen shops in Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, New Jersey, Texas, Virginia and on Bleeker Street in Manhattan.

Scoop ‘N Scootery offers a variety of customizable ice cream sundaes with a plethora of toppings. And if you can’t make it to their shops, they’ll deliver your order until 2 a.m.

The all-in investment to open a Scoop ‘N Scootery franchise starts at $169,500 and the company is seeking franchisees to expand the chain.
