The New Scoop in Town: Downtown Florence Gains A New Place to Smile About

By El Murphy

Florence has a new sweet spot in town, and it's called Smiling Scoops. This past Saturday afternoon, customers lined up for the grand opening of this stylish ice cream parlor, eager to sample its offerings. With over 20 different flavors of specialized milkshakes, a rainbow of Italian ice flavors, sundaes with never-ending toppings, and their signature Ice Cream Nachos, Smiling Scoops promises to satisfy every sweet tooth.

The shop itself is a visual treat, blending old-school charm with a modern twist. Neon signs and vintage decor create a welcoming atmosphere that invites visitors to linger and savor their treats.

We had the opportunity to talk to the owners of Smiling Scoops, the Duprey family. Stoney, his wife Whitney, and their 8-year-old daughter have poured their hearts into this venture. What started as a dream three years ago has now become a reality. Mr. Duprey shared, "We wanted to create a place where families could come together, enjoy delicious ice cream, and leave with a smile. That's how we came up with the name 'Smiling Scoops.'"

The grand opening was a hit, with families and friends gathering to celebrate the arrival of this new community gem. As the Duprey family mingled with customers, it was clear that their vision for Smiling Scoops was already coming to life: a place where memories are made, and smiles are guaranteed.

With its delightful menu and inviting ambiance, Smiling Scoops is set to become a beloved destination in downtown Florence. Whether you're looking for a sweet escape on a hot day or a cozy spot to enjoy a treat with loved ones, Smiling Scoops is the new place to be.
