GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. — The newest ice cream shop in the Denver metro area opens Friday.
Little Man Ice Cream opened a location in Greenwood Village at 4940 S. Yosemite St., next to Cherry Creek High School.
The 1,500-square-foot shop will have a grand opening ceremony at 6:30 p.m. Friday featuring the Cherry Creek High School Marching Band. The performance will be followed by a ribbon-cutting at 7 p.m.
Owners of "The Villager" community newspaper Bob & Gerri Sweeney will help cut the ribbon alongside climate scientist Dr. Warren Washington.
Little Man Ice Cream said its newest location will feature 24 daily flavors, as well as seasonal flavors, and vegan and sorbet options. The shop has a series of functional Willy Wonka-esque candy topping tubes snaking throughout the location.
“We pride ourselves on creating memorable ice cream experiences, not just for special occasions, but to celebrate everyday victories,” said Little Man Ice Cream founder Paul Tamburello. “We’ve truly succeeded as an organization if we can make a customer’s day just a little bit brighter after visiting one of our shops.”
Little Man has a 10th store opening in downtown Littleton on Main Street in July.
The Little Man Ice Cream Co. was founded in 2008 with the launch of Little Man Ice Cream — a 28-foot tall milk can-shaped shop in Denver’s Lower Highland neighborhood.
