‘Soft serve by the sea’: Ice cream shop opens in memory of daughter in North Myrtle Beach
A new ice cream shop has opened in North Myrtle Beach and is offering “soft serve by the sea.”
In memory of their late daughter, Hartsville, South Carolina, couple Roger and Heather Carbaugh opened up Ella’s Ice Cream shop, at 1516 Highway 17 N., Unit 6, serving folks with a variety of flavors of soft-serve ice cream, shakes, floats, sundaes and other sweet treats, according to a release.
Ella’s menu offers soft serve flavors, with most being homemade, including vanilla, chocolate with a twist, peanut butter, butter pecan, raspberry, strawberry, mint and pineapple, the release states. The shop also serves banana splits and hurricanes.
The Carbaughs named the shop after their daughter Ella, who died in 2014. The couple and their seven children fell in love with North Myrtle Beach while growing their vacation rental business and it had been the family’s longtime dream to open an ice cream shop, the release states.
Ella’s is open from noon to 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday and noon to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. It is closed on Sundays.
