All of your ice cream dreams are about to come true with the soon-to-be-open second location of The Outside Scoop in Prairie Trail!

Located in Indianola, The Outside Scoop has become an increasingly popular destination for ice-cream fanatics everywhere! Soon this summer, their second location will see its completion and officially be open for business in Ankeny's Prairie Trail development.

The store is known for their artisan style batches of ice cream that are hand packed and full of robust flavor.  They strive for the best, using the freshest products out there. And since opening in 2010, they've only continued to grow in popularity.

General manager Haylee Korth said the new store will look similar to the original Indianola shop, offering the same rotation of homemade ice cream flavors, sundaes, shakes, malts and blended frozen treats.

According to The Des Moines Register, Korth said that, "Based on sales in the last couple of years and customer feedback, we felt it was important for us to keep growing. There's nothing quite like our product in Ankeny."

Their menu features approximately 80 flavors of ice cream served on a rotating basis, with names like "Butterscotch Smore," "Lucky Charms," "Cinnamon Roll," "Dark Chocolate Raspberry" and so many others. The Indianola shop features 24 flavors at any given time, including a dairy-free option. The Outside Scoop also has two trucks that travel around the Des Moines metro with a similar variety on a smaller scale.
