A new ice cream venture is set to sweeten the streets of Midlothian, as local entrepreneurs discuss plans to distribute their product beyond city limits. During the recent City Council meeting on June 24, 2025, the team behind the ice cream project revealed their intention to sell pints in local stores and operate a food truck at community events.

The discussion highlighted a key requirement of their grant, which mandates that the ice cream be distributed outside of Midlothian. This has prompted the team to explore various avenues for reaching customers, including partnerships with local retailers and participation in local events.

Kathy, a representative of the ice cream initiative, emphasized that while they aim to expand their reach, their focus remains on maintaining a single manufacturing location in Downtown Midlothian. The team clarified that they do not plan to open multiple production sites, ensuring that their operations remain centralized.

This initiative not only aims to enhance local business but also to bring a unique product to the community, fostering a sense of local pride and engagement. As plans develop, residents can look forward to enjoying delicious ice cream while supporting local entrepreneurship.
