New Walk-Up Ice Cream Shop Coming To Vernon

VERNON, CT — It was a drive-up, but now it's going to be a walk-up. Either way, a new ice cream shop is coming to Vernon this summer.

Frank Guadagnino told Patch Monday that he is opening a new ice cream stand called Frankie G's Ice Cream and it will located at the old Dunkin’ Donuts drive-through at the Vernon Shell station, 448 Hartford Turnpike.

"We’ll be serving classic soft serve and fun frozen treats, perfect for summer days or just a cool break on the go," he said. "I'm proud to bring something fresh and fun to Vernon."

The target opening date is July 1, Guadagnino said.

The old Dunkin' drive-up window is located behind the building. The driveway will be used as a walk-up area and a picnic area will be set up around it, Guadagnino said.
