🔍Officially solving this Greystone mystery..
Many of you know, we did all of our company’s ice cream production out of the kitchen at Greystone. (For 7 years!) As our shop count expanded, catering grew, and we added concession locations, we quickly outgrew that tiny Greystone kitchen.
In our search for the right production space, we had an opportunity to take over the old dry cleaner in Greystone’s shopping center (next door to on the end of the shopping center). We moved all of our ice cream machines, kitchen tools, ingredients, and production people down a few doors— and now we have a much larger space for our ice cream kitchen!
We’re calling it “The Ice Cream Hatchery”, where hundreds of our tubs are made every week, with the hope of one day also including the community in this space for classes and parties.
Are you a Greystone regular wondering what The Ice Cream Hatchery was doing in the old dry cleaner spot? Well, now you know. 😉
🍦NOW HIRING!
We’re currently hiring scoopers at ALL shops, including our Waverly Place Cary store! 🎉🎉 Also hiring “Assistant Manager” positions at a handful of our stores as well.
If you’re looking for a team that makes Baked Bean ice cream and lets you try it on social media, this is the job for you. (Many other qualifications including- being a kind and hard working human being who loves people and ice cream, in that order)

When said his tattoo art is usually bright and bold AND that his favorite snack is Frosted Animal Crackers, the ice cream basically made itself.
We hope you’ve loved Logan’s Frosted Animal Cracker ice cream flavor this month: a pink-vanilla base with frosted animal cracker pieces and sprinkles. We loved it so much we made it into our featured June ice cream cake! It’s bright and fun and makes us happy scooping it for y’all.

Meet Brian Harris of Phoenix Tattoo, tattooing in the Raleigh area since 2001.
Brian leans heavily on his personal interests in music, books, and plants to create designs inspired by those categories. He also told us people sometimes kid him for his taste in “old man candy”.
Since Brian does a lot of floral and botanical tattoos, we decided to create a lavender ice cream with crushed maple honeycomb candy. A recent DM said, “I have brought every family member to try that flavor and we are all obsessed!”
If you haven’t tried it (and brought every family member), then make a plan to change that. A huge thank you to Brian Harris for partnering with us this month!
How does Clinton Gifford’s ice cream flavor reflect his tattoo art?
Clinton creates art that’s bold and vibrant with some heavy, dark tones. He told us he likes to combine interesting ideas to make new images, which is why a Non Dairy Chocolate Mango seemed like a great fit. This flavor is a coconut mango base with flakes of dark chocolate shavings.
Did you hear he designed a shirt especially for Two Roosters?? See the last slide for his image— available to purchase in stores now! 🔥
MERCH: Out with the old, in with the new!
We have new t-shirt lewks featuring three exclusive designs from our Tattoo Artists! Huge shout out to for creating the Rooster Cone tee, .almquist.tattoo for designing the Rooster Head and script tee, and for doing the Fighting Roosters tee. 🔥
As for the OG merch designs: we’re having our biggest sale ever, happening NOW! We’ve slashed prices by 50% on our flavor tees, long sleeves and hoodies, short sleeved logo shirts, mugs, canvas totes, + more. It’s all discounted in our shops AND online for shipping! (Not included: Ice Cream Canteens, stickers, Burts Bees lip balm, and Tattoo Artist tees)
We have some new items coming for the summer and can’t wait for you to see it! Until then... enjoy these fun new tattoo t-shirts + summer sale prices on our other merch!
A crowd favorite from this month’s Tattoo Artist line up?? Jessica Lanahan’s Peanut Butter Cup 🔥
We asked what type of ice cream her art would be and she said:
“Mostly vanilla with a little chocolate and peanut butter thrown in and sometimes a surprise peanut butter cup… I tend to keep an illustrative style black and grey but I also like to branch out and try different things creatively speaking. All the styles meld together and taste great together no matter what.”
And with that, a Peanut Butter Cup flavor was born. We added crushed Reese’s cups to a vanilla base and made sure to drizzle peanut butter sauce throughout. If you’re into Reese’s- this is the one to try on your next visit! Thanks for partnering with us, Jessica! 🙌🏼
