Baskin-Robbins Is Bringing ‘Stranger Things’ Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Shop To Life This Summer
Deep into any Netflix binge of Stranger Things, it’s easy to get sucked into the misadventures of Eleven and co. and wonder what a day in the life of a character would be like. Baskin Robbins is making this marathon-fueled fever dream one step closer to a reality. The ice cream retailer announced on Wednesday that they'll be recreating the Stranger Things Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Shop.
Lick your ice cream cone like its 1985 at a Burbank, CA, installation in its Baskin-Robbins location. Designed to reflect the ice cream parlor located inside the food court of Starcourt Mall-which is frequented by Hawkins, IN locals-you can visit from Tuesday, July 2 to Sunday, July 14.
Not only does a press release boast replicas of nautical décor and staff uniforms (like you could forget Steve Harrington and Robin’s shifts scooping sundaes there), but also show-inspired treats. Previously announced Stranger Things flavors, which have been teased relentlessly on the company’s Instagram, will be ready for consumption and include:
Flavor of the Month, USS Butterscotch: Inspired by the Scoops Ahoy shop at the Starcourt Mall in Hawkins, IN, the July Flavor of the Month is a decadent butterscotch-flavored ice cream with butterscotch pieces and a toffee-flavored ribbon. Also available in pre-packed quarts.
USS Butterscotch Sundae: Guests can set sail with this nautical themed, three-scoop sundae from the show, topped with waffle sails.
Exclusive in-store experiences: Including a Scoops Ahoy photo moment to share all the Stranger Things love.
Guests can still experience the Upside Down and Demogorgon Sundaes, the Byers’ House Lights Polar Pizza® Ice Cream Treat, the Elevenade Freeze, and limited-edition Stranger Things fresh-packed ice cream containers.
As if a real-world trip to Scoops Ahoy wasn’t trippy enough, on National Ice Cream Day (Sunday, July 21) visitors can buy two pre-packed quarts of any ice cream for just $7.99. On Wednesday, July 31, viewers can Celebrate 31 and a restock of the merch with $1.70 Scoops and the pre-packed quarts deal. In-store pick-up and delivery is also available, per the press release.
If you’re in Los Angeles (or wanna book a plane ticket real quick) the first week of July will bring a Scoops Ahoy ice cream truck to town at select locations. It will also be at the opening of the Burbank Scoops Ahoy on July 2 from 2:00–5:00 p.m. Got that all down?
While you’ll have to wait for Season 3 of Stranger Things to fill your queue, visions of yourself at Scoops Ahoy can happen today, free of charge.
