Now for the age-old questions: Why don’t we have a Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream scoop shop in Cincinnati?

Well, if you need your Jeni’s fix — and you want it for free — prepare for a short road trip up to Columbus (or any other city where Jeni’s storefronts are located) to grab a complementary scoop to celebrate the start of summer. 

From 7 p.m. until close on June 21, participating Jeni’s will be offering one free scoop per customer and special themed summer swag. 

All shops, except for North Market and Columbus Commons in Columbus, will be participating. And all shops will be closed during the day of June 21 to prep for the summer party. 

In a Facebook post, Jeni’s says it’s “a long-standing tradition for us to hand out free scoops at our grand opening parties.”

“Now that we can officially welcome you back into our shops, we figured why not throw an epic, nationwide, free scoop, faux grand opening bonanza?!” the post continues.
