Deep into any Netflix binge of Stranger Things, it’s easy to get sucked into the misadventures of Eleven and co. and wonder what a day in the life of a character would be like. Baskin Robbins is making this marathon-fueled fever dream one step closer to a reality. The ice cream retailer announced on Wednesday that they'll be recreating the Stranger Things Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Shop.
Lick your ice cream cone like its 1985 at a Burbank, CA, installation in its Baskin-Robbins location. Designed to reflect the ice cream parlor located inside the food court of Starcourt Mall—which is frequented by Hawkins, IN locals—you can visit from Tuesday, July 2 to Sunday, July 14.
Not only does a press release boast replicas of nautical décor and staff uniforms (like you could forget Steve Harrington and Robin’s shifts scooping sundaes there), but also show-inspired treats. Previously announced Stranger Things flavors, which have been teased relentlessly on the company’s Instagram, will be ready for consumption and include:
Flavor of the Month, USS Butterscotch: Inspired by the Scoops Ahoy shop at the Starcourt Mall in Hawkins, IN, the July Flavor of the Month is a decadent butterscotch-flavored ice cream with butterscotch pieces and a toffee-flavored ribbon. Also available in pre-packed quarts.
USS Butterscotch Sundae: Guests can set sail with this nautical themed, three-scoop sundae from the show, topped with waffle sails.
Exclusive in-store experiences: Including a Scoops Ahoy photo moment to share all the Stranger Things love.
Guests can still experience the Upside Down and Demogorgon Sundaes, the Byers’ House Lights Polar Pizza® Ice Cream Treat, the Elevenade Freeze, and limited-edition Stranger Things fresh-packed ice cream containers.
As if a real-world trip to Scoops Ahoy wasn’t trippy enough, on National Ice Cream Day (Sunday, July 21) visitors can buy two pre-packed quarts of any ice cream for just $7.99. On Wednesday, July 31, viewers can Celebrate 31 and a restock of the merch with $1.70 Scoops and the pre-packed quarts deal. In-store pick-up and delivery is also available, per the press release.
If you’re in Los Angeles (or wanna book a plane ticket real quick) the first week of July will bring a Scoops Ahoy ice cream truck to town at select locations. It will also be at the opening of the Burbank Scoops Ahoy on July 2 from 2:00–5:00 p.m. Got that all down?
While you’ll have to wait for Season 3 of Stranger Things to fill your queue, visions of yourself at Scoops Ahoy can happen today, free of charge.
