SCOOP up an Ice Cream in Wilton, CT with "SCOOPS !!!"

SCOOPS was opened over 25 years ago in Wilton, CT by two local women who found a huge need for a place to go to take the kids for ice cream.   Wilton had bookstores, florists, markets, banks, clothing and sports and hardware stores, but no "treat" stores.   So, these two very good friends of mine named Care Heeks and Shelly Lawson opened one.  What is it they say?  Find a need, and fill it!  That they did. 

Scoops in Wilton, CT    All of the kids' sports teams go straight to Scoops to celebrate their wins, or to drown their losses.....    a fabulous congregating spot!

Neither Care nor Shelly are there, anymore, other owners run it now, but the same spirit and intent and excitement about the local families still "runs with the land," so to speak....

Every holiday has a new display of candies and treats - and even the flavors of Buck's ice cream vary a little to accommodate holidays, too.    Local bakers bring in their specialties, and you may also order directly there.

There is nothing better than an original establishement like this. They are so hard to find and many have been over taken by the modern franchise.

Thanks for commenting, Graig.   It's now been bought out by some folks that I don't even know, but at least the spirit will be the same....

My Mom and Dad moved to Oregon from South California and they had one near their new home that served giant scoops!  They were always the hit of the trip up to see them!

That's so much fun to have something special for the kids in a town like that.  My kids have great memories .......

Moved to Tx a few years ago and SWAMP at Scoops is one of the few things I miss. Plus being able to get genuine peppermint stick (not mint chip) any time of the year and not just the holidays. For my grandson's first Christmas, back in '97, I ordered and grabbed a dozen pinks of Peppermint, ran it to the UPS store and shipped it overnight in dry ice to VA. Shipping cost about 3 times what the ice cream did, but worth it - except that since we all arrived on 22nd, it was gone by the actual day.
Even now, I'd do that with Swamp except the shipping to here would be prohibitive.
