A new ice cream restaurant has made its way into Station Park. And that place is Baskin Robbins. Baskin Robbins had their official grand opening on Aug. 17. The celebration started at 11 a.m. and went until 11 p.m. when they closed.

When they opened the shop, they had the shop decorated with various balloons and colorful decorations. Outside, the entrance was dotted with pink, blue, purple and white balloons. A balloon arch also decorated the entrance almost as if it was framing the shop itself. And to the enjoyment of many kids who came that day, they had an ice cream cone mascot in front of the store as well, dancing to the music provided by the radio station they had hired for the day’s festivities.

Inside it was decorated with balloons and they had a wheel people could spin to win prizes such as a free ice cream, discounts of their products, or even some Baskin Robbins merchandise. The main reward customers got to try and spin for though, is the possibility of winning free ice cream for a year.

“It’s really nice to have a Baskin Robbins so close to home,” one customer said. “Station Park doesn’t have many ice cream joints, so now that this is here, it’s rather nice.”

Besides the festivities, people were able to buy any of the ice cream they offered for just $2 a scoop. So a half-price offer from what they initially charge at $4 a scoop. 

“Even though we didn’t manage to get the free ice cream for a year – which was a bit of a bummer, We are still really glad that we’re able to have Baskin Robbins in Station Park now,” another customer who came in said.

Baskin Robbins is the first ice cream place to become available in Station Park. It has replaced the former dessert restaurant Yonuts. As a well-known ice cream restaurant it offers a multitude of ice cream flavors for customers to choose from. From the classic chocolate to several customers’ favorite Oreos Cookies and Cream.

They also offer a variety of ice cream cakes, ice cream floats and shakes even a variety of coffee drinks. 

A favorite of a lot of the customers seems to be the cookie cake that they offer. But aside from the cookie ice cream cake they also offer several other ice cream cakes as well. Customers can even get a custom flavor for their cake.

“After not having a good place to get ice cream for so long here in Station Park, it is really great that we can now have Baskin Robbins here,” said one customer. “Especially during this summertime heat.” 

It was a good move for Baskin Robbins to move into this spot in Station Park. Many of the residents seem excited about the new opportunity.
