BJ's Velvet Freez, a beloved Colorado Springs icon, is expanding! The beloved ice cream shop, known for its soft serve and savory snacks, is opening a second location in the city. But here's where it gets exciting: the new spot isn't just about ice cream. Get ready for a treat! The new location, confirmed by owner Corey Houger, will be at 2900 East Platte Avenue, just east of North Circle Drive. Currently, The Human Bean occupies this space, but they're moving on! Houger shared that The Human Bean plans to relocate, making way for BJ's Velvet Freez to offer even more convenience. This expansion aims to reduce wait times and enhance the drive-through experience, ensuring customers can enjoy their favorite treats even faster. But wait, there's more! The current location at 1511 North Union Boulevard, a historic spot since 1954, will remain unchanged. Houger emphasizes, 'Nothing is going to change with this location. It's where it all started, and we have no plans to leave.' The official opening date is set for the end of March 2026, and Houger expresses his gratitude to the city, saying, 'Thank you, Colorado Springs! We love being a part of this great community.' This expansion is a testament to the shop's enduring popularity and its commitment to serving the community.
