Mimi's Handmade Ice Cream Coming To Westpost At National Landing

ARLINGTON, VA — Mimi’s Handmade Ice Cream is coming later this summer to Westpost at National Landing, formerly Pentagon Row, in Arlington. The store will offer ice cream, sorbet, and other frozen treats, at its 935-square-foot space located at 1201 S. Joyce St.

“I have been cooking and creating deserts since I was 7-years-old and I am excited to make this hobby my job,” said Rollin Amore, in a release. “Americans love ice cream, and I plan to have dozens of unique ice cream flavors for our patrons. I look forward to opening Mimi’s in the growing National Landing neighborhood.”

Amore turned to creating handmade ice cream, following a 35-year career in finance. When he returned home from traveling, he would recreate the local cuisines and flavors he'd experienced on his trips for his daughters, Mimi and Alexandra, especially with desserts.

In the shop Amore's dedicated to his daughters, customers will find 42 unique flavors of ice cream, including mango, sweet Thai basil, and matcha, as well as familiar favorites vanilla and chocolate.

“We are excited to welcome Mimi’s Handmade Ice Cream to Westpost at National Landing,” said Dan Corwin, director of asset management at Federal Realty, in a release. “Mimi’s will join the expanding mix of retailers in the National Landing community including Bun’d Up, featuring Wild Tiger, Origin Coffee, Mattie & Eddie’s and Nighthawk Pizza which will open this fall.”
