Award-winning ice cream shop opens first Raleigh location this week
Award-winning Cary ice cream shop Andia's will hold a soft opening for its new shop in the Raleigh Iron Works development this weekend.
Posted — UpdatedThe shop will hold a soft opening Friday, Aug. 11, from 5 to 10 p.m. , Saturday, Aug. 12, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 13, noon to 4 p.m. The shop will be closed on Monday, Aug. 14 and reopen on Tuesday, Aug. 15 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The shop announced last week that its ice cream would now be available for shipping via Goldbelly.
An Italian-Croation restaurant from chef Scott Crawford and a taproom from Ponysaurus Brewing are also on the roster of upcoming tenants at Raleigh Iron Works.
The first businesses to open at Raleigh Iron Works were Wasserman Media Group and F(x) Fitness. They will soon be joined by a menswear store, Beatniks.
Raleigh Iron Works is located inside a former factory along Atlantic Avenue. The warehouse was where munitions were built during World War I and fabricated steel for buildings and monuments around the city.
The structure's steel bones date back to the late 1800s, when it was originally located in the Warehouse District in downtown. Peden Steel bought it, took it apart and moved it to Atlantic Avenue in the 1950s.
All of the steel inside the building is original – well over a century old. Instead of demolishing that history, the Grubb Ventures and Jamestown team are reviving it.
