History


Founded in 2025

The Scoop was founded in 2025 but was formerly Another Time Ice Cream Parlor, which existed for decades.  The same perfect service, delicious offerings, and location (the pink building) as it's always been.  Just an updated name and a renewed commitment to providing Minnesota based premium products!
