The Stuart Chamber of Commerce welcomed a new business to the community Saturday morning.

The Stuart Scoop is now located on Northeast 2nd Street and owned by Trevor and Sadie Kleppe and opened their doors for customers roughly two months ago. The scoop sells a wide range of ice cream products that include ice cream sundaes, shakes, cones, banana splits as well as Northern Lights pizza and smoothies. Owner Sadie Kleppe said they are orginally from eastern Iowa so to be accepted into the community so fast is amazing.

“So thankful for everybody’s support and excitement for the business. As we bought this building, we really wanted to breathe life back into it and bring something that really was like an active storefront and a place for people to be.”

Kleppe explained they would travel through the Stuart area to look at real estate in western Iowa and thats how they dicovered the building that is now the Stuart Scoop. The scoop is open everyday except Monday from 11am until 9pm
