The Advocate is reporting that Meltdown Snoballs, a Baton Rouge-based snowball business, is expanding into Acadiana in a space that was once a Burger King, located at 1500 Johnston Street.
The space has been vacant since the location closed in January of 2024, despite it being a prime location near campus.

Meltdown Snoballs Expanding to Lafayette
Meltdown Snoballs was founded by Zein Clayton in 2021. Since launching his first location at 16 years old, the brand has continued to expand in Baton Rouge, Brusly, New Roads, and will soon be available in Lafayette.
Customers can expect classic flavors, of course, but they are best known for their creative custom creations with ice cream, cheesecake bites, and cotton candy.
