Carmen’s to Open Kensington Location

Carmen’s Italian Ice will be opening a new store in Kensington, MD later this year.

The location is being opened by Kensington natives Brad Riddle and Jerry Walters, and will be located the spaces currently occupied by Parkway Barber Shop and Kensington Television Services at 10309 and 10311 Kensington Parkway.
Recently, Carmen’s opened spots inside Kung Fu Tea locations in Gaithersburg and Ellicot City, as well as the Clarksburg Market, that offer 3-4 flavors of custard and 8-10 flavors of Italian ice. The upcoming Kensington location will be a stand alone store similar to the ones in Olney and Rockville, and feature a full selection of flavors and products.

We’re told Carmen’s Kensington is hoping to open by July 1. We will provide additional information when it becomes available.

About Carmen’s: It started with a simple idea. Introduce homemade gourmet Italian Ice to the Washington DC area. Jason Mandler – a native of Parsippany, New Jersey – opened Carmen’s Italian Ice & Cafe in Rockville, MD in 2001. Tracing its roots back to Philly and South Jersey where this dessert has been a mainstay for years, Carmen’s offers homemade, gourmet Italian Ice in over 60 flavors. It also now offers frozen custard, shakes, and a toppings bar.
