A local group of ice cream shops will be expanding to the northwest suburbs of Boston, taking over the space where a location of a small chain of frozen custard shops had been.
According to multiple sources, New City Microcreamery is planning to open in Arlington, taking over the space on Broadway in the center of town that had been home to an outlet of Abbott's Frozen Custard. Once it opens, the new location of New City will join others in Cambridge's Central Square, Sudbury, and Hudson, the last of which is its original shop, debuting back in 2015.
Another location of Abbott's Frozen Custard in Arlington Heights had shut down this spring as well.
The address for the upcoming location of New City Microcreamery in Arlington Center is 311 Broadway, Arlington, MA, 02474. The website for all locations is at https://newcitymicrocreamery.com/
