Celebrating 30th Year of Scooping

Justine’s Ice Cream Parlor will reopen on Saturday, March 25th at 12 noon to celebrate our 30th year of scooping ice cream in St. Michaels, Maryland.

For 30 years, Justine’s has been serving ice cream to Eastern Shore residents as well as visitors to St. Michaels. Justine’s has become a stable in our town, attracting generations of loyal customers.

“There are folks in town who have been enjoying Justine’s ice cream, sundaes and shakes for decades,” said Kathy Lash owner of Justine’s. “We have seen families coming here for years and now we serve their children who have families of their own. It is pretty amazing.”

Justine’s opened in St. Michaels in 1987. Kathy Lash bought the business in 2012 and with Tyler Heim, the head churner, they have expanded the menu and added house made ice cream to the menu. This year’s homemade flavors include “Saturday Morning” a cereal infused ice cream served with a foot loop topping and “Life By Chocolate” a chocolate and coconut ice cream topped with a graham crackers, coconut flakes and chocolate sauce.

“Every year, we let our creativity expand,” said Tyler Heim. “I hope this year our customers will be delighted with our newest creations that truly represent what we love most about ice cream”.

In celebration of Justine’s 30th anniversary, there will be in store and online promotions including a birthday celebration the 30th of each month all season, Baltimore Orioles tickets give-a-way, and a special 30th anniversary shake.

Justine’s is open on the weekends from 12 noon to 8:00 p.m. until April 1st when we reopen 7 days a week. We are located in downtown St, Michaels, Maryland – 106 North Talbot Street. For more information call us at 410 745 0404 or visit our website www.justinesicecream.com.
