Oberweis and Giordano’s Partner to Open New Ice Cream Shop in Downtown Naperville
Two iconic Chicago-area brands, Oberweis Ice Cream and Giordano’s, are collaborating to launch a new ice cream scoop shop located inside the Giordano’s restaurant in downtown Naperville. Scheduled to open on April 28, this venture marks a significant first for both companies: it is Giordano’s inaugural instance of hosting another brand within its location, and Oberweis’s first scoop shop that does not also function as a dairy store. The partnership aims to combine deep-dish pizza and premium ice cream into a single family-friendly dining experience. To celebrate the grand opening, the first 99 customers will receive scoops for 99 cents, with a portion of proceeds donated to the DuPage Children’s Museum. Additionally, Oberweis will introduce two limited-edition flavors exclusive to this location, honoring local high schools Naperville Central and Naperville North. Executives from both firms emphasized their shared commitment to quality ingredients and the nostalgic appeal of pairing pizza with ice cream, positioning the collaboration as a unique enhancement to the local dining landscape.
