Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams has a new location in the pipeline for Nashville. The Peabody Union development that has been taking shape along the south bank of the Cumberland River at 30 Peabody Street has announced that Jeni’s will join the development, according to City Now Next. This is the first commercial tenant to be announced for Peabody Union.
This will be the tenth Nashville-area location for Jeni’s, which has spots open in East Nashville, 12 South, the Nashville Farmer’s Market, Hillsboro Village, Brentwood, McEwen Northside, Fifth and Broadway, Stocking 51 and the Factory at Franklin.
Jeni’s was founded in 2002 by James Beard Award-winning Jeni Britton Bauer in Columbus, Ohio. Since then, it has grown to having locations across 14 states and Washington, D.C.
“We build ice creams completely from scratch using a unique recipe honed and perfected over more than 20 years by our founder, Jeni Britton,” the website states. “Our ice creams have a uniquely smooth texture and buttercream body, with bright flavor and clean finish. We’re here to set new standards for ice cream classics and to create our own. At Jeni’s, you’ll find flavors inspired by our curiosities — art, history, pop culture and beyond — that simply don’t exist anywhere else.”
The shop boasts a wide variety of ice cream selections. Flavors include sweet cream, citrus-glazed pound cake, raspberry rhubarb delight, tropical bloom, double dough and green mint crisp. There are also dairy-free and gluten-free menu options.
The Peabody Union is expected to be a mixed-use development featuring residential, office, restaurant and retail spaces, as well as open spaces and the downtown greenway.
As of now, an opening timeline for Jeni’s has not been revealed.
