Snelgrove Returns?
Snelgrove Ice Cream was a Salt Lake City staple that started in 1929. After closing storefronts in 1990, the brand was sold to Dreyer’s, which ceased production in 2001. But in 2019, the Snelgrove family reacquired the trademark and revived the brand. They opened a storefront in St. George and plan to expand to Salt Lake, Davis, and Utah Counties. [KSL]
