An ice cream brand also known for its hand-crafted chocolates, creamy fudge, caramel apples and brittle hopes to expand its footprint in Tennessee, particularly Chattanooga.
Kilwins has set its sights on multiple locations across East Tennessee, with Chattanooga leading the list of promising markets, according to a press release. Pigeon Forge and the Tri-Cities are also on that list. If successful, the expansion could double Kilwins’ presence in the state. The brand has stores in Franklin, Gatlinburg, Nashville and Knoxville, according to its website.
