Just thinking about going to the Kirkwood Ben and Jerry’s Scoop Shop brings on a smile. It is not just the Chunky Monkey, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Cherry Garcia ice cream. Sure, they get the gold metal in my ice cream Olympics but now there is another tasty treat at the Kirkwood Junction Scoop Shop – chocolate. Not just any chocolate but locally produced by Bissingers especially for Ben and Jerry’s chocolate. They come in clusters, truffles and logs even a Chubby Hubby chocolate pretzel! The flavors are Ben and Jerry’s inspired such as Karamel Sutra, Phish Food, New York Super Fudge Chunk and Dark Blueberry and Almond. The only Scoop Shop you can buy this product in the St. Louis region is at the Kirkwood Station location.

Ben and Jerry’s is a socially responsible business placing a high value on quality and sustainability. Their philanthropic initiatives are impressive and their creamy products are one of the healthiest on the market because they oppose recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone. The hundreds of family farmers belonging to the St. Albans Cooperative Creamery in St. Albans Vermont supply the milk and cream to Ben and Jerry’s and they pledge not to treat their cows with rBGH.
