Arriving this summer, the Little Man Ice Cream Factory will open its doors to the public in a perfect Willy Wonka fashion. The shop will be Little Man Company’s fifth opening since 2008, following Old Town Churn in Fort Collins last year and The Constellation in Stapleton in March 2019.

The Factory was born out of necessity for the quickly-expanding brand, which needed a new production facility after outgrowing its original 600-square foot kitchen housed in a converted Victorian. The new space houses a state-of-the-art commissary where ice cream and baked goods for all of Little Man’s stores are produced.

The Factory will be open to the public as a tasting room, serving flights of ice cream and tours of the production area so guests get a behind-the-scenes look at how the ice cream is made. Like many of Little Man’s outlets, The Factory will be big on fun and special features, including a soon-to-be installed metal slide, an overhead conveyor belt to move ice cream from one part of the factory to another and a revolving flavor sign.

More than just an ice cream shop, The Factory will serve as an event space for a variety of activities, such as wedding receptions, kids’ birthday parties and executive happy hours.

We’re excited for the launch of this whimsical new space and have promoted The Factory through a variety of venues. Check out this great piece from 5280 about Little Man’s expansion. News7 also named Little Man a Mile High Must. We look forward to being a part of the Grand Opening this Summer and the future Little Man locations coming soon!

Little Man Ice Cream’s newest concept, The Constellation, landed in Stapleton at the Eastbridge development and celebrated its Grand Opening on March 30th.  The Constellation Ice Cream shop is named after The Constellation or “Connie,” a four-engine airliner built by Lockheed Martin, an airliner that revolutionized the mid-20th century.  The ice cream shop is housed in a 75-foot replica of the Constellation airplane wing.  The wing suspends over Martin Luther King Boulevard, paying tribute to the former Stapleton International Airport.

The maiden voyage Grand Opening was a smashing success, celebrated with hundreds of Little Man Ice Cream fans.  Customers were encouraged to bring a piece of luggage in order to receive a baggage claim ticket that would be entered into a drawing for a trip for 4 to New York City!  Congratulations to the Little Man staff for a remarkable opening and for bringing a piece of history to yet another community.

The Constellation is the fourth ice cream concept developed by Paul Tamburello, founder of Little Man Ice Cream.  The Stasko Agency was hired by Tamburello to promote the first concept, Little Man Ice Cream, a 28-foot-tall replica of an antique Milk Can back in 2008.  Over the past ten years, The Stasko Agency has provide publicity and public relations services for Paul Tamburello and the Little Man brands.  Tamburello has two more concepts on tap for 2019, a soft serve shop called Dang and a Little Man Ice Cream shop at Denver International Airport, a testament to the iconic status of the brand.
