Carmen’s Italian Ice, located at 1115 Nelson Street in Rockville, will celebrate National Ice Cream Day on Sunday, July 20, by staying open for 24 hours straight.
The local dessert shop will offer a variety of promotions throughout the day and night, including a “Stuff Your Stanley” special, an “Ice Cream for Breakfast” event during morning hours, giveaways, and other limited-time deals. According to the shop, the idea was inspired by other businesses in the ice cream industry, and Carmen’s team of younger managers was eager to take on the 24-hour challenge this year.
About Carmen’s: It started with a simple idea. Introduce homemade gourmet Italian Ice to the Washington DC area. Jason Mandler – a native of Parsippany, New Jersey – opened Carmen’s Italian Ice & Cafe in Rockville, MD in 2001. Tracing its roots back to Philly and South Jersey where this dessert has been a mainstay for years, Carmen’s offers homemade, gourmet Italian Ice in over 60 flavors. It also now offers frozen custard, shakes, and a toppings bar.
