According to a recent filing, Salt and Straw will open another location at the Eastside Exchange Building, located at 123 NE 3rd Avenue.
A representative of Salt and Straw was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Portland’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed, according to an article from Entrepreneur, “Drawing inspiration from her time at Starbucks as it revolutionized the coffee experience, the Salt & Straw CEO and co-founder, Kim Malek, sought to do the same with her ice cream enterprise.”
“Starting with just a big idea and very little knowledge of ice cream making or how to create a business around it, Kim Malek and her co-founder and cousin Tyler Malek went from driving around conducting taste tests and gathering feedback from local business owners, friends, and family to having dozens of Salt & Straw locations across the country.”
“That organic storytelling and focus on hospitality played a role in materializing famous collaborations and investment from superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and placement at Disneyland’s Downtown Disney District,” the article states.
Salt and Straw has two menu options listed on their website, one for the West Coast and the other for Florida. The West Coast flavors include double-fold vanilla, honey lavender, cinnamon snickerdoodle, pear and blue cheese, among others.
