New Orleans Flavored Rolled Ice Cream Comes to Clearwater

Just in time for Spring Break, Clearwater is rolling out Sweet Rolls, a new twist on ice cream with a unique blend of South Louisiana flavors. The second of only two locations in Florida, Sweet Rolls owners Ron and Cory Sage are excited to offer delicious rolled ice cream to the community starting April 12.

Think of your favorite ice cream and add a New Orleans flair. Crunchy pecans, mouth-watering pralines and smooth Gentilly cake, oh my! The Sweet Rolls franchise specializes in offering opportunities to families and local entrepreneurs, and they are excited to bring New Orleans to cities outside of Louisiana. In addition to offering business opportunities throughout the south, Sweet Rolls is also in the process of developing a nonprofit organization, Frankie & Evan, which aims to provide service animals for those with Autism.

"We're excited to create our own career opportunity and also to make a difference in our community," Ron said.

Sweet Rolls takes a different approach to ice cream. Crew members use French Creme Anglaise and house-made whipped cream to roll each treat to order. Ask for special add-ons or eliminate some ingredients to make more room for others; Sweet Rolls caters to each customer.

Start with some traditional flavors. The S’mores Roll will remind customers of campfire traditions. The Gentilly Roll is a nod to the delicious strawberry and blueberry topped cake bought for every special occasion inside the Louisiana state line. You can even take your favorite ingredients of any rolls and create your own! And with New Orleans traditional main meal follow-up flavors such as Bananas Foster and the Downtown that offer a taste of Louisiana's sweet almond cake, Sweet Rolls is the perfect stop before heading home from a night out.

Customers can celebrate milestones with The Birthday Cake or The Wedding Cake rolls or satisfy cravings with Brownie Time or The Candy Bar. The options are endless. The favorite rolls for this location include The Salted Pretzel, Brownie Time, Coffee & Donuts and Bananas Foster. The staff recommends purchasing cinnamon rolls, cannolis and cookies too.

Ron and Cory have a large support group that consists of friends and family, and they're eager for customers to come create their own "You Rolls." "We are active in our church, we are family oriented, and we are animal lovers," Cory said. Between the business opportunity and its commitment to those in need, it's a win-win for these new entrepreneurs.

The Grand Opening on April 12 will take place at Sweet Rolls new location in the Bay Bridge Plaza at 1500 N. McMullen Booth Road in Clearwater. The staff is looking forward to making many new friends at their store and serving unique treats to the community.

Locations are popping up all over the south, and the long lines of customers are evidence that its founders are on to something. Be a part of this "roll"-out. Visit mysweetrolls.com for information on other menu items and visit the new Clearwater location today!
