The Scoop opens doors to Lawrence's lickers

Terril Burkhead, Lawrence, serves Marylyn Amyx a strawberry cheesecake ice cream cone in The Scoop. The Scoop is a new ice cream store at 10 W. Ninth St.
Downtown businessmen and shopers wanting their favorite frozen snack now have a haven called The Scoop, a new carry-out ice cream store located at 10 W. Ninth St., one block from Massachusetts Street.
The store opened last Tuesday. Without advertising, the Scoop has relied upon people to spread the word that the new store had opened.
I DON'T THINK PEOPLE really know about the place yet," Bill Werner, who works at the store, said. "We don't advertise or anything like that."
“It's kind of funny because they're standing outside looking at the sign wondering whether we're open or not,” Trace Warner said.

But after the initial hesitation, the outcome is the same.
"A lot of people come to look but they end up buying," Wagner said.
Without any formal advertising, the store is catering to the nearby businesses and wandering shoppers.

said about the Scoop's clientele.
"There's been downtown employees, shoppers and lots of kids from the public pool."
"Some came over the other day and have probably been over here since then," Brewion said, holding a freshly whipped chocolate shake. "The store had different types of ice cream. It will probably do well."
"We figured to get the downtown employee when they get the mun- tioned coworkers, the only other place that sells ice cream downtown is Woolworth's."

Slobban O'Neill, a customer participating in the Lawrence Summer Youth Theatre program, said "It has a great location because you can go here during intermission. There's no other place that sells ice cream around here. Most are a long distance away. I think location is the main thing."

BOTH OWNERS of the Scop, Mike
Lewis, of Tampa, also thought
the location was ideal.1
"I wanted to put a store downtown. It just seemed like a good idea at the time," said Ingram, who credits Amyx with the beginning plans.
After renting the store though, Amyx.
"This building has been used a lot and we thought an ice cream place might be the next step," Amyx said, surveying the store. "It's close to the bus stop and downtown. It all seemed pretty logical to have it here."
THE PAINTING is finished except for covering the peeling yellow paint and the red bricks outside with an coat of white with blue paint for trim.
"Yeah, we're limited on space," Ingram said.
Remodeling of the inside has not meant the addition of any extra space in this store cluttered with boxes of Skryofoam cups and the plastic gallon bottles of strawberry and vanilla svurs.
Nor is there much room for the customers. It is three short steps from the door to the counter, and 14 feet wide. The employees have even less space, about three feet, behind the counter.
Ingram and Werner could have rivaled KU's Watson renovation when they started remodeling The Scoop.
"We started four weeks ago and tore out the carpet and walls." Amyx said, looking around the now-sparkling counters and newly-painted walls. "We've opened a window that probably hasn't been opened in 20 years."
BUT WHAT THE SCOOP lacks in size, Ingram said, it hopes to make for in higher quality and cheaper prices at Lawrence ice cream establishments.
"We just haven't gotten it framed yet." Amyx said, looking at the dollar bill. The rain prevented the owners from picking the finishing touches on their new store.
Displayed prominently on a shelf placed between two ripened bananas and the aqua banana boats is a lone dollar bill.
