Oh no! Carvel is gone too!

It's hard to get too weepy-eyed over an missed opportunity for ice cream on one of the coldest days of the year, but this is a big deal. The sign on the door of the Flower Mound Carvel ice cream store (FM2499 & FM407) tonight says "Closed. Thank you for your business."

We just lost the indie Duke's Ice Cream on the south side last September. Now Carvel is gone too. That leaves Marble Slab (never a bad choice) in the middle of Town, and Braum's near the Lewisville line. If you're really desperate for Carvel, there's apparently still a store in Coppell.

And while there's no ice cream consolation yet for us Southsiders, at least you Northsiders mourning Carvel can look forward to a new Ben and Jerry's going in to that new mega-shopping center in Highland Village.

What about Baskin Robbins? Also, I hear there is a new ice cream shop at Parker Square.

Cold Stone is still supposedly coming to the Pines. It should take the last spot in the building with Starbucks and Subway.

Culver's is good. Expensive, but good. Guess they put Duke's out of business.

There is a new ice cream shop in Parker Square. The name is Emack & Bolio's and there ice cream is all natural. It is also some of the best tasting ice cream in Texas. Visit us at www.ebparkersquare.com
