Two entrepreneurs will bring the nostalgia of the old-fashioned ice cream parlor back to downtown Spartanburg.
Kathy and Michael Silverman, owners of The Local Hiker at 173 E. Main St., have signed a lease on a 1,900-square-foot space at 147 E. Main St. where they plan to open Hub City Scoops by mid-June.
The couple said the 37-seat store could create six new jobs and feature 28 flavors of a premium ice cream brand yet to be named that is currently not sold in South Carolina.
“It feels good to finally get to this point,” Michael Silverman said. “The intent overall is to provide a great atmosphere… Part of fostering the growth of downtown is creating places that people want to go to and keep coming back to.”
