a note from molly: new shop opening at u village!

I'm opening another ice cream shop in Seattle! Can you believe it? I bet you thought Seattle didn't need another Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream … but when it comes to ice cream, my philosophy is the more, the better (and my research shows that 100% of five-year-olds agree).

Our newest shop will be opening at U Village this fall! We'll be moving into the currently-under-construction south building of Seattle's favorite retail mecca. At this point we're eyeing a November open date, so I'll keep you posted on our progress!

So what makes this special?

  • Instead of wood floors we're using ... wait for it ... tile. 
  • This shop opens at 11 a.m. - that's a whole extra hour of ice cream access compared to the Wallingford, Capitol Hill and Queen Anne shops. 
  • Let's be real, November is a weird time to open an ice cream shop in Seattle. Weird, special … same diff.
What makes this not special?
  • In the last five years, 25 (ish) new ice cream shops have opened in Seattle. (You win a prize if you can guess what special thing happened five years ago that kicked off this whole artisan ice cream craze.) 
  • This Molly Moon's shop will have the same old commitment to creating living-wage jobs and offering 100% paid health and dental insurance for employees. 
  • Like all the other shops, this one will also use only 100% compostable products and make delicious ice cream on site with 90% of ingredients coming from the Pacific Northwest. 
  • This is not the first ice cream shop at U Village, but it is currently the only one. It's also the cutest … ever.
