Boom Town Creamery

[mattjank]

Tried it out about 9:15 on Friday night and there was a line out the door. Moved relatively quickly. Really like that they have a mini sampler where you can choose 6 "small" scoops. Really enjoyed everything we had.

Sam Anderson is doing a book signing here on Tuesday 10/11.

Heck, that sounds like a really cool time, but I've got a class that evening.

Skipping class is not going to hurt or kill you so just go and have a fun time

[Ginkasa]

Ha, its tempting but the class is fairly expensive and there are people depending on me attending.

I totally forgot about this event last night and went just to get some ice cream. There was a nice crowd there in line to get Sam's autograph. The owner and her husband were out front for crowd control as they had a line for ice cream and another for book signing. What a nice couple they are!

The people that run Boomtown are great examples of how to operate and promote a local business.

They have worked their tails off to do things right and are constantly promoting themselves. As a result, they have done great business even though their prices could be regarded as high. Of course, they are making everything by hand with high-quality ingredients but still, there were lots of comments on social media about "I can go to Braum's for much cheaper".

Anyway, I talk to so many small businesses and restaurant owners before they open their doors and I can pretty much predict which will succeed. And I knew this was going to be a home run the first time I talked to them (and well before they had even started construction).

When Angela Muir (center in the photo below) and her husband moved to OKC a few years ago, she soon discovered we didn't have anything like the small-batch, hand-crafted ice cream place that they had loved in Kansas City.

Before long the idea of Boom Town Creamery was born and after a ton of hard work, it has been a big hit in their charming spot in Uptown -- quite the accomplishment given the local dominance of Braum's.

They are now set to open two brand new locations (Edmond and South OKC/Moore) and a central production facility near I-40 and Meridian, all less than a year after opening last June.

Boom Town will be taking over the Dolci Paradiso spots (closing April 3rd) at SW 104th and May and at 17 E. 5th in Edmond, next to Stephenson Park.

Look for the new stores to open in May. Stay tuned here or follow Boom Town Creamery's social media for the exact dates.

They do a phenomenal job. It reminds me a lot of Jeni's Ice Cream stores.

I wanted to commend Angela Muir who owns and operates this business.

Angela has worked her tail off and spent a bunch of money on bringing this historic space back to life, and did it the right way. Tons of attention to detail. She roped in photographers and designers and then did a bunch of things herself, like the big ice cream displays in the jewel box windows.

She has also been slaving away in the kitchen late into the evenings; I know because I've been by there late and have seen her working in the back, trying to get fresh batches ready for the next day.

Angela also runs their social media and has done a great job in promoting Boom Town in general.



I meet tons of people looking to open their own business here in OKC, and almost always talk to them long before they open. And every time I do, I think to myself "they are going to do very well" or "God help them".

Let's just say that it's not that hard to predict what businesses are going to make it vs. those who are likely to struggle.

I posted this just after they opened their first location.

It's not enough to have a good product or food and so few people that launch a new business understand this. Those that do, prosper.

[Ginkasa]

That's awesome. We really enjoy them and just stopped in the other day. We'll still be visiting the OG location but I'm glad they're doing so well.

I do not know if any ice cream will top Braum's but I will give it a try when it opens in South Oklahoma City/Moore

Apples and oranges. Similar to Michelob vs Stonecloud. Mainstream vs niche. They both serve a purpose, and are both good.

[Thomas Vu]

So glad for them, they deserve it.

went by Dolci Paradiso (Edmond) last night (it is one of our favorite after dinner spots) they close for good today at 5pm ..

[MagzOK]

Looking forward to the one in Edmond. I just hope they don't overextend themselves to quickly like Roxy's did who ended up closing most of their "newer" locations not long after opening them.

Did the same, but went to the south OKC location. Gonna miss their Tiramisu Gelato. Boomtown is so good though! Glad it will still be an ice cream spot!

that is what I had on Saturday .. it is so good ..

[Martin]

really glad to see this coming to the southside but it is kind of sad that things didn't work out for the people at dolci paradiso.

[Teo9969]

You should pitch the idea to Angela Muir that she buy the recipe off Dolci Paradiso and it can act as a sort of "throwback"

[PaddyShack]

I still have yet to try their Cookies and Cream, they have always been sold out both from the counter and their to-go pints... It has been aggravating to say the least.

[Pete]

The location at SW 104th & May opens May 17th.

[progressiveboy]

What a great business plan! So happy the proprietor is having much success!

when i hear things like this it makes me want to go to the place and make a big order and then only present cash at the register .. (i would never do this of course)

but everywhere should take cash ..
