EAST GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — After a little set-back, the iconic Jersey Junction is back open for business in East Grand Rapids starting on April 1st!
Originally set to start the season in March, the ice cream parlor had some damage from the harsh winter and had to push the opening back around a month.
But now the doors are open and ready for customers to scream for ice cream, continuing a 63-year tradition in Gaslight Village.
Founded in 1963 by Doris "Chris" VanAllsburg, the name "Jersey" was inspired by VanAllsburg's father, who believed Jersey cows produced the finest milk and best ice cream.
