Scoops by Beth, a new small-batch ice cream shop founded by Beth Mensing, will open on Saturday, Feb. 21, at 523 Euclid Ave. in Des Moines’ Highland Park Business District. The shop marks Mensing’s expansion from her successful home-based venture, Pints by Beth, which began in 2014. She received support from Invest DSM, the Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization Grant Program and a community-backed Kickstarter campaign in securing financing to open the store. Scoops by Beth will offer nostalgic ice cream flavors while contributing to the district’s ongoing revitalization efforts. Read more about Mensing and the new store in dsm magazine…
