Count me among those who furrowed their brows in April when an ice cream shop opened in what seemed an unusual space on Broadway in downtown Little Rock.
The new Scoops location felt inconvenient, and that part of downtown is quiet on the weekends when I figured most people would be looking for ice cream.
But after reading Managing Editor Jan Cottingham’s restaurant column last week, I’m happy to report how wrong I was.
Indeed, Scoops’ Little Rock location is doing three times the business of its original location in Hot Springs. That’s according to Greg Hatcher, the founder and CEO of the Hatcher Agency who purchased Scoops in 2022 and resolved to open a store in Little Rock.
