Jeni’s Ice Creams will open its first Chattanooga shop at the foot of the Incline Railway in the St. Elmo neighborhood, where a location of Clumpies Ice Cream Co. closed in February.

The Columbus, Ohio-based company said on its website it would throw a party to celebrate the opening. Jeni’s was founded in 2002 in Columbus by Jeni Britton and operates nearly 100 scoop shops in 30 cities, including 10 shops in Nashville.

The ice cream brand is already available in 10 grocery and retail locations in Chattanooga, according to the Jeni’s website. Locals can buy the brand at Publix, Whole Foods Market and Target. The company has not responded to a request for comment, including when the store will open.
