Goodies Holds Soft Opening At Ice House In Alexandria

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Goodies Frozen Custard & Treats, a food truck on select days and special events, has opened its brick-and-mortar location at the Ice House in Alexandria.

Owner Brandon Byrd has been serving up a Wisconsin-style frozen custard out of a vintage van since 2012. He later secured the Ice House location at 200 Commerce Street, a historic location that had been vacant for 20 years.

Byrd previously told Patch the Goodies brand seeks to evoke Classic Americana culture, bringing back memories of the days when Motown, doo-wop and vintage cars ruled. Goodies serves up frozen custard treats that Byrd grew up with, such as rum cake, banana pudding and brownie sandwiches. Custard is made fresh every day in DC.

On opening weekend — Saturday and Sunday — Goodies will be open 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., or until it sells out. The May 29 opening is a soft opening.
