An iconic Melrose ice cream shop is searching for a new home after being forced from its West Wyoming Ave. address after nearly 30 years of business.

Heavenly Licks’ owner Kara Conley told the Melrose Free Press that the building’s owner told her that “he had other plans for the property.”

Conley has packed up everything inside the shop and is currently searching for a new location. Conley told the newspaper that Melrose residents and customers are assisting her with the search process.

Conley took over as owner of the business when her father, Jay Conley, passed away in 2010. Heavenly Licks first opened at West Wyoming Ave. in 1987.
