A Sweet Legacy
Abbott's, a name synonymous with summer delights, has stood the test of time. Founded in 1902, it opened its iconic Lake Avenue location in 1926, becoming a beloved fixture in the community.

Live music, face painting, and even a visit from the Seneca Park Zoo-Mobile will create a vibrant atmosphere. It's a chance for the community to come together, celebrate, and create new memories.
A Flavorful Tribute
The highlight of the celebration will undoubtedly be the 'Centennial Scoop.' While the chosen flavor remains a mystery, it's a chance for Abbott's to pay homage to its rich history and the flavors that have delighted generations. From classic vanilla to adventurous twists, the possibilities are endless, and the anticipation is building.
