A locally-owned ice cream shop is preparing to close its doors in Prairie Village.
Chill in the Village, known for its soft-serve and other sweet treats, announced Monday via social media that it will close after May 31.
“We’ll be serving everyone’s favorite treats through May 31st, and we’d love to see as many of you as possible before we close,” said owner Karie Nelson in a statement this week. “Thank you for helping make CHILL such a success over the years — it’s meant the world to us.”
Chill in the Village is at 6966 Mission Road
- The shop occupies a space at the Shops of Prairie Village, just off 69th Terrace and Mission Road.
- The shop served ice cream at the Shops of Prairie Village for seven years.
- It offered both frozen yogurt and ice cream, in flavors like white chocolate mousse, cherry amaretto and “ultimate” peanut butter brownie.
- “I’ll forever be grateful for the amazing community that made Chill in the Village so special,” Nelson said in a statement to the Post. “Watching the many kids, including my own, grow up coming into CHILL and working at CHILL has truly been a gift.”
A new ice creamery is moving in
- In the social media announcement, owners of Chill in the Village told customers the closure comes as another ice cream shop prepares to move in.
- Missouri-based Clementine’s Naughty and Nice Ice Cream plans to take over the space later this year.
Clementine’s is based in the St. Louis area
- The ice cream company got its start in St. Louis, Missouri, and has eight locations in the greater St. Louis metro area, including one across the Mississippi River in Illinois.
- The Prairie Village location will serve as its first in Johnson County and the Kansas City metro area as a whole.
- The menu at Clementine’s offers both “nice” flavors like carrot cake and pistachio, and “naughty” cocktail-inspired flavors like maple bourbon and pink champagne sorbet.
