Boom Town Creamery opening a second location in the Skirvin this coming Spring.

4th location correct??

Looked at website, you are correct. Did not realize they had Edmond and Moore covered.

Boom Town Creamery opening a second location in the Skirvin this coming Spring.

They already have one in the Skirvin? Two seems excessive:p

Locally-owned Boom Town Creamery is set to open a location in downtown’s historic Skirvin Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City.

This will be the fourth location for the ice cream store which first opened in the Uptown district at 605 NW 23rd in 2022, and expanded to South OKC (10740 S. May) and Downtown Edmond (17 E. 15th).

Angela Muir and her husband moved to OKC a few years ago and saw the need for a local creamery with hand-crafted, small-batch ice cream with unique flavors.

The new Skirvin location should attract hotel guests, downtown workers, and the growing number of urban residents.

The store will front Broadway, facing the venerable B.C. Clark store. On the opposite corner, a Starbucks is under construction at 100 Park as part of a conversion from office space to more downtown living units.

Local investors Mark Beffort and Andy Burnett teamed with the Chickasaw Nation to buy the Skirvin from a Milwaukee-based operator in 2022. They immediately announced plans for $15 million in renovations. Room and ballroom renovations have commenced, and the lobby will also be refreshed.

Boom Town plans to open in the Skrivin next spring.

taking the "artist in residence" space??

taking the "artist in residence" space??

Yes.

A different kind of artistry, if you will.

I'm pretty sure the artist in residence space hasn't had an artist in it for quite a while. Shame as it was a really neat use of that space, but I'll definitely be a customer at this new use!

Pretty sure (super-talented) sculptor LaQuincey Reed didn’t move out until earlier this year. Possibly 2023, but I know for a fact he was there during 2023.

Great news! Boom Town is great!

Hope they bring one to Midwest City soon. When these places expand throughout the metro they often skip out on us over in the east.

Yesterday they rolled out a limited-time flavor, Dark Chocolate Orange. It must be experienced if you are into that kind of thing.

I continue to be stunned by how good these folks are at making ice cream
