“I’ve never felt that feeling of being part of something. “I started to think ‘this is maybe what I want to do,'” Crittenden said. His business partners decided on more traditional career paths, so Crittenden knew he’d be striking out on his own. Unfortunately, Scoop N Scoot still didn’t have all the necessary permits and paperwork filed so the business was shut down.Ĭrittenden was faced with a choice: go to grad school or really see whether his ice cream delivery idea had legs.
Toppings were everywhere,” Crittenden said. “We were not prepared, but we were so pumped. This is actually possible.”Īfter getting on GrubHub and Foodler, Scoop N Scoot’s orders jumped from five a day to 25 a day. Crittenden started to think “Oh my god, this is real.
They added new flavors of ice cream, varieties of frozen yogurt and lots of toppings. They made a website, started some of the paperwork to legitimize the business and worked on perfecting their delivery method. Scoop N Scoot didn’t have a website, just a sign in the window of Crittenden’s fraternity house alerting passersby that they could order ice cream.Īfter having some fun with Scoop N Scoot (and eating lots of ice cream), Crittenden and his business partners decided to get serious. Things were pretty chaotic at first, with Crittenden delivering Garelick ice cream sourced through the dining hall with a cooler bungee-corded to the back of his motorcycle. He recruited two fraternity brothers to help him with Scoop N Scoot (now called Scoop N Scootery), poured his savings into it and started working on the logistics of actually delivering ice cream. “I came home on a mission,” Crittenden said. He wondered “Is that possible? Would it melt?”Īfter settling on the name Scoop N Scoot, inspired by Crittenden’s mode of transportation at the time, a motorcycle, he knew he had to give the business a shot. “It was miserably hot outside and I wanted ice cream, but I was so exhausted,” Crittenden said, when the idea of ice cream delivery suddenly dawned on him. That was until Crittenden had a classic light bulb moment. Until 2 in the morning.Austin Crittenden was a pretty typical Tufts student majoring in psychology, interning at MetLife and living in a fraternity house in the summer of 2012. This establishment is not merely a store you can stop by to cure that craving for something creamy it also delivers its gourmet ice cream goodness. This ice cream haven even offers cookies in addition to its main product. Some of my favorites include Doughy Bites, Nutella Sauce, Cinnamon Pop Tarts, Cookie Bites, and Blueberry Muffin Crumble. While the classic Vanilla and Chocolate are featured on the ice cream offerings at Scoop N Scootery, they're also serving up some killer gourmet flavors as well-such as Blueberry Pie, Campfire S'mores, Cake Batter, and Peanut Butter Oreo.Īnd the toppings are just as good. There's surely something for even the pickiest eater. If these flavors have your mouth watering, check out their website and discover the dangerously delicious other options they offer. The store sells gourmet sundaes, offering concoctions like the "Holy Cannoli," stuffed with cannoli filling, chocolate chips, and homemade whipped cream, and a seemingly Stranger Things inspired sundae called "Demogorgon," filled with fudgey brownie, Oreos, fudge, and chocolate flakes.
The hip, trendy, and fun, ice cream store has another location in Arlington, but on February 4th a brand new location opened in Allston, MA-not far at all from Boston University's West Campus.
