Goodies works to provide the community what it needs. When middle school students began asking for different treats they listened. Now, they carry Chocolate Tacos and ice cream pops traditionally bought from ice cream trucks.

If you're a coach of a sports team, Goodies will give you 15 percent off your purchase when you bring the team in. And if you call ahead they will subtract another 5 percent.

If you don’t like coconut, try the mocha crunch, which mixes heath bar, chocolate chips and caramel. If you’re chocolate obsessed, try the double trouble dark chocolate ice cream. It comes with brownie pieces, chocolate chips and chocolate syrup ripples.

Scoops N More is unique because it invites customers to submit their fantasy ice cream flavors. If your fantasy flavor is picked you get your picture on the Flavor of Fame Board in the shop and a free cup of your fantasy pick. The flavor will then be sold.
