SALEM, NH — The Southern New Hampshire Chamber of Commerce had a scoop-tacular time celebrating the grand opening of Salt & Straw Ice Cream — marking the beloved brand’s first-ever New England location, right in the heart of Tuscan Village in Salem.

The celebration was nothing short of delicious. From $1 scoops (with proceeds benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem) to a one-of-a-kind tasting experience featuring ice cream topped with culinary perfume (yes, it’s edible and wearable!), guests were treated to bold flavors, big smiles, and sweet community spirit.

Salt & Straw co-founder and head ice cream maker Tyler Malek joined the festivities, sharing his passion for storytelling through ice cream. Crowd favorites included the unforgettable Chocolate Gooey Brownie — just ask Chamber board member Kerianne Pereira, who declared it “life-changing!”
