This isn't a common sight during this season. While the majority of ice cream parlors in Maine close down for the winter months, one courageous shop is stepping out into the chilly weather to make its grand entrance.

John’s Ice Cream Factory in Liberty is proving that cold harsh temps can’t chill their creamy vibe!

According WABI, this ice cream shop has gone against the grain and defied expectations by opening during the coldest months in Maine.

But it's not the first time, this is a beloved tradition and it's as much about community as it is about ice cream.

When will John's Ice Cream Factory be opening?

They are officially open at this very moment!

It's amusing how summer seems to be the season when ice cream beckons us the most, but why should we limit ourselves to enjoying it only in the winter? I think that's a fantastic notion!

Founder, John Ascrizzi opened in 1998 and their secret ingredient has been simple: real food, as per the post.

Aside from their mouthwatering cuisine, this winter will usher in an exciting new era as former employee Louis Pontillo and his wife step up to take charge of the establishment!

Louis mentions,

"From the very first day he began my training, he emphasized the importance of grasping the core principles behind our work."

Now under Louis' ownership, John’s Ice Cream Factory is open every day from noon to 7 p.m., proving that ice cream season is truly all year long.
