AMMON – After serving his country for the last quarter of a century, James Peterson, and his wife, Mary, are now serving customers as the owners of an ice cream shop in Ammon.
The Air Force veteran and his wife opened Stella’s Ice Cream in the new commercial strip on Lincoln and Ammon Road at 3534 East Avalanche Street. The restaurant opened its doors on Oct. 2 and held a grand opening on Oct. 11.
After nearly a month of business, the Petersons are pleased with the response from the community.
“It’s been great. The community has really showed up and it’s been very successful so far,” James tells EastIdahoNews.com. “We’ve really enjoyed getting to know the community.”
Stella’s, a national franchise that serves a variety of homemade ice cream flavors, was founded by Chad Hartley in Nampa in 2018. It now has 19 locations across the U.S., including nine in Idaho. The Ammon location is the first one in eastern Idaho.
James says many locals are familiar with the restaurant in the Boise area and have stopped by the Ammon store to show support.
“They’re now super excited that it’s over here in Idaho Falls,” says James. “A lot of people that live close are really excited about having something (on this side of town).”
Its menu includes 12 regular flavors and eight non-dairy flavors. There are also four seasonal rotating flavors. Watch Mary make ice cream in the video above.
