Oberweis to Open New Shop in Glen Carbon, Illinois

On July 17, Oberweis, a proud member of Hoffmann Family of Companies, is bringing its beloved scoop and dairy shop to the rapidly growing Orchard Town Center development, serving guests throughout Glen Carbon, Edwardsville and the surrounding Southern Illinois communities. This highly anticipated opening marks a significant milestone in Oberweis’ broader Midwestern expansion under the leadership of Hoffmann Family of Companies. The Glen Carbon location will stand as Oberweis’ sixth brick-and-mortar location in Missouri, further solidifying the brand’s regional footprint.

The new Oberweis Scoop Shop will bring the brand’s classic ice cream parlor experience to Glen Carbon, with hand-scooped super-premium ice cream served in cups, cones and freshly baked waffle cones and bowls. Guests can also enjoy hand-dipped milkshakes, specialty sundaes, classic root beer floats, thick Frostbite blended treats and other Oberweis favorites, including its iconic glass-bottled milk.

To celebrate the opening, Oberweis will introduce the Pretzel Party Frostbite, available exclusively at the Glen Carbon location for a limited time. The featured Frostbite is made with vanilla soft serve blended with Snickers, pretzels, caramel and chocolate sauce, then topped with a chocolate-dipped pretzel.

“The Orchard Town Center development is thriving and it makes for the perfect family-friendly hub that’s become synonymous with the Oberweis brand,” said Oberweis CEO Renato DePaolis. “Ice cream simply tastes better when shared with family and friends, and our new store reflects the values we hold dear: a deep appreciation for quality, authentic experiences, and strong community connections. We’ll always be that welcoming space for individuals of all ages to enjoy premium ice cream and take a joyful pause in their day.”

“Ice cream should be fun,” continued DePaolis. “With the new shop, we wanted to bring new energy to the Oberweis brand while staying true to what our guests know and love. From the red and white design cues to the smell of fresh waffle cones, every detail was created to make people feel welcome the moment they walk in.’”
