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.
