A Sweet New Chapter in Littleton
Little Man Ice Cream, Denver’s iconic ice cream company, is opening their 10th store on main street in Old Town Littleton, CO.
A Scoop of History
Founded in 2008 by Paul Tamburello, Little Man Ice Cream quickly became a beloved fixture in Denver’s Highlands neighborhood. Inspired by Tamburello’s father, who was known as “Little Man” due to his small stature but big heart, the original shop’s design is a nostalgic homage to 1930s roadside attractions, featuring a giant milk can.
Since its inception, Little Man Ice Cream has been dedicated to crafting homemade, small-batch ice cream with the finest ingredients. The company’s commitment to quality and community has fueled its growth, leading to the establishment of additional locations across the Denver metro area.
What Makes Little Man Ice Cream Special?
Little Man Ice Cream is renowned for its unique and ever-evolving menu. Here’s what makes their offerings stand out:
- Flavor Innovations: With classic favorites like Vanilla Bean and Chocolate to adventurous options like Salted Oreo and Horchata, there’s something for everyone. Seasonal flavors and limited-edition creations keep the menu exciting and fresh.
- Quality Ingredients: Little Man prides itself on using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Their commitment to sustainability and supporting local farmers ensures every scoop is as ethical as it is delicious.
- Community Focus: The company has a strong philanthropic spirit. Their “Scoop for Scoop” program donates one scoop of rice or beans to communities in need for every scoop of ice cream sold. This initiative has provided over 1 million scoops to date.
- Diverse Offerings: Beyond traditional ice cream, Little Man also offers vegan and dairy-free options, catering to a variety of dietary preferences.
The Littleton Location
The new shop will open in the storefront that used to house Nook Coffee and Ice Cream, which closed in the spring. The company is working on interior structural improvements to enhance the space and prepare it for the new shop. They plan to offer indoor and outdoor seating at the new location.
Beyond ice cream, Little Man Ice Cream Littleton is planning to bring community events to town, such as live music, movie nights and bingo. So now you can add taking your sweetheart for a sweet treat to your list of date night ideas.
