It's open! Right here in Henderson! Located in the strip mall where the 24 HR Fitness and the bread store are located. The storefront faces Pecos. This place is dedicated to selling solely Thrifty Ice Cream by the scoop, as a sundae, and even as an ice cream sandwich (your choice of cookies) You can also take home hand packed pints & quarts just like the ol' days except it's not the 3 for 25 cent scoops any longer (ahem..giving away my age here). They also serve coffee and have a cold case full of sodas, water and milk.
There are 36 flavors. They offer all the old school ones like Chocolate Malted Crunch, Coconut Pineapple to new flavors like Circus Animal Cookies (and yes they taste just like the Mothers Circus Animal cookies) and Green Tea (which is creamy and refreshing)
Ambience - Store brightly lit, spacious, clean. There are a couple tables you can sit down and have your ice cream treat
Service- Great! Friendly & Helpful! You can sample the flavors.
The ice cream is still the creamy goodness & just the right sweetness like back in the day when I used to walk to then Thrifty's Drug store and get a scoop for 15 cents. A scoop size was approx 1/2 cup it filled up the waffle cone from top to bottom. And yes it is still the same squarish round corner cylindrical scooper Thrifty used from when I was younger. I uploaded a photo to the album. The Cherry Amaretto ice cream my husband tried had loads of whole marachino cherries in there!! ..and the Chocolate Malted Crunch tasted like what I had from back in the day...possibly even better??? Maybe it's now I appreciate that I can tell when quality and natural ingredients are used and they dont skimp on all the fruits,nuts that are mixed in.
It was fun reminiscing with other customers that walked in. I think all of us had big smiles when we walked in the place. My first visit here sure brought back my childhood memories.
