Golden Scoop Trades Storefront for Food Truck, Expands Jobs for Scoopers
Overland Park, Kan. – October 05, 2026 -- The Golden Scoop, a nonprofit ice cream and coffee shop staffed by adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, will close its original storefront at 9540 Nall Ave. on Saturday, Oct. 31, and replace it with a mobile food truck available for bookings across the Kansas City metro.
The shop opened in April 2021 and quickly drew lines wrapping around its strip center, prompting a second, larger location with a drive-thru at 10460 W. 103rd St., less than three miles away. With two storefronts operating so close together, the organization decided to put its newest unit on wheels instead of opening a third fixed site.
