The Dayton Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the new Sweet Scoops Ice Cream and Treats, located at 607 W. Clayton St., Dayton, celebrated the grand opening of the ice cream shop on Friday, March 1.
This family-owned ice cream shop, led by Dayton State Farm agent Juan Carranco, Alex Perez, and their wives, Martha and Dalila, respectively, warmly welcomed dozens of guests with free samples during the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
This new ice cream shop uniquely combines American and Hispanic cultures, drawing inspiration from both traditions to create an exquisite array of flavors. From classic favorites like Fruity Pebbles, Strawberry and Chocolate Chip to more adventurous options such as Pine Nut, Mango Chamoy, Strawberry Diablito, and a special Dayton Bronco-inspired purple ice cream, Sweet Scoops caters to a diverse range of palates. The ice cream chef is Ricardo Quiroz of Beaumont, Texas, who owns an comparable ice cream shop in the Beaumont area called La Real Michoacana Ice Cream.
Beyond their delicious ice cream selection, the shop also offers an assortment of delectable snacks including Takis Preparados, Churros Locos, Nachos, and Elote en Vaso, as well as refreshing fruit cups, fruit salad, and a variety of fruit drinks and aguas frescas.
Speaking at the event, Juan Carranco expressed his gratitude to the Dayton community, noting the warm reception and strong support received since the shop’s opening.
“We’ve felt welcome and blessed by this community. Alex and I are very excited, our wives as well, that you all are here and that we’ve been able to get as many customers in just a short period of time,” he said.
To sample the ice creams, treats and drinks for yourself, stop by Sweet Scoops Ice Cream and Treats from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, or 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Juan Carranco and Alex Perex both wish to give a special thanks to Arnold Construction, especially owner Gene McDowell, for the fine work on the interior of the business, Cherry Meeks of Meeks Artistry for the murals, Total Graphics for the team’s uniforms, Fancy Petite Balloons for the decorations, Dayton Chamber of Commerce, Turner Magnum Real Estate, and La Real Michoacana Ice Cream.
