A local favorite for generations, Jimmie Cone will close out its 63rd season on Saturday, October 25th, marking the end of another year of sweet memories and classic soft serve in Montgomery County. The seasonal ice cream shop, known for its iconic swirl cones and long summer lines, will keep its pumpkin flavor on the menu through the final day of the season.

Jimmie Cone, with locations in Damascus and Mount Airy, has been a cherished local tradition since opening in 1961. Each year, the shop opens in early spring and operates through the fall, offering a nostalgic blend of soft serve, sundaes, shakes, and flurries that have become part of life for many Montgomery County and Frederick County families.
