About Little Scoops

At Little Scoops, we believe birthday parties are about fun, not only for the kids, but also for the parents. A party at Little Scoops allows you to celebrate along with your kids, without having to worry about the clean up or the arrangement. Little Scoops is a children’s party place, featuring a retro 1950’s ice cream parlor motif. Partygoers are treated to a variety of interactive games all set to age-appropriate music and supervised by a staff of trained professionals. Pizza and soft drinks are served at all parties with other food options available at your request. At every Little Scoops party, children get to make their own ice cream sundaes with various colorful toppings.

About Creamistry

We at Creamistry are Ice Cream Fanatics! We believe ice cream should never be sitting in a freezer waiting to be served. Our ice cream is made-to-order, freshly prepared and frozen right in front of the customer. Combine it with great customer service and a spectacular liquid nitrogen smoke show, and you have a recipe for success. We're always looking for owners who are as passionate about ice cream as we are - franchisees who love to put smiles on people's faces with quality products, friendly staff, an enjoyable environment and one of a kind experience that will have people coming in again and again.
