As Grandma Betty’s Ice Cream Shop changes locations, it is also updating its style.
The not-for-profit ice cream parlor is moving next to the Cup in the Village.
General manager Jeannine Lee Lake said the shop will reopen no later than July 1.
The original goal was to open by June 15, but Lake said typical moving problems got in the way.
“With all the transfers and things like that, it’s a lot of work,” Lake said. “It’s a little more than I expected.”
Lake said she is pushing to open the shop as soon as possible to avoid losing any more revenue.
“We’re working fast to get the new store open,” said Lake. “But when everything is done, it will be done.”
Despite the hurdles, Lake is still very optimistic about the move.
“The move is going very well,” Lake said. “[The shop] will have a new design, new colors, and it’s going to be how I want it to be. Last time everything kind of got thrown together at the last minute, and I know I can do better.”
Splashes of rainbow sherbet colors will line the walls, as one of many new additions to the décor.
And while a menu has not been set in stone, Grandma Betty’s will still offer its pulled pork sandwiches everyday, as well as ribs and other barbecued foods Thursdays through Saturdays.
The mint julep will be making its way from the Kentucky Derby to Grandma Betty’s menu, but it will be non-alcoholic. The Black Cow, a root beer float that uses chocolate syrup, whipped cream and maraschino cherries, will also make it onto the menu.
