AMPERSAND ICE CREAM OPENS AT THE ROW

After a lengthy delay, there is finally activity to report at The Row at Heritage Grove, the shopping center at Shepherd and Willow avenues in Northeast Fresno. In addition to the Revival 23 boutique, Ampersand Ice Cream has opened shop -- and just in time for summer!  

We're big fans of Ampersand not just because the ice cream is among the best we've ever had, but also because of its motto: "Where great ice cream and community meet."

A small batch creamery focused on utilizing the best products the Central Valley has to offer, Ampersand's ice cream is made completely from scratch daily by hand and with lots of love.  They now have three locations in Fresno, and each is open from noon-11 p.m. daily. northwest scoop shop opened over the weekend at 7010 N. Marks Ave. at Herndon Avenue. Other locations are at 1940 N. Echo Ave., across from Fresno High School; and 7010 N. Marks Ave. at Herndon Avenue near Starbucks.
