Scoop! There it is…

If the change in the weather has you singing that refrain and thinking more about ice cream than a certain car insurance (or even old school hip hop duos), then we have the perfect new Loop Member for you!

Give a warm welcome to Penguin Ice Cream, a family-owned mobile ice cream business from right here in Copley! You may have seen them around town in the past few years - they joined the farmers market for a few Sundays in 2019 and spent some time in area neighborhoods during 2020.

I'm happy to say that I can personally attest to the deliciousness of their ice cream, particularly the black raspberry and the peach. So yummy...

And one reason that it's particularly exciting to have Penguin as a new member (in addition to being more than happy to sing their praises and loving their emphasis on local and eco-friendly concerns) is knowing we've made it easier for you to find 'em in order to book 'em when you need 'em!

As they say, "Weddings, graduation parties, birthdays, office celebrations... we do it all." And how fun would that be, to have an ice cream vendor for any of those occasions?

Now, here's a bonus for those who happen to be planning something of the sort: Penguin is offering a 10% discount on catering services to any new customer that mentions "The Loop" when making their reservation!

So whenever you're ready to celebrate, remember that you can always find Penguin Ice Cream on our Business page or in our full list of Loop Members.

And while you're there, I bet you can find someone to bake the cake, too! 😉

Plus: Tickets are limited!

In case you didn't catch it, you can celebrate Earth Day at The Winery at Wolf Creek with a viewing of The Biggest Little Farm thanks to The Nightlight! Just 100 tickets went on sale Monday afternoon and they're slipping away...

Check out the list of happenings below or visit the Loop Calendar for that and many more fun things to do in the days to come!
