While Tom Petty has taught us that the waiting is often the hardest part, it is equally true that anticipation can make a desired arrival even sweeter. Expanding juggernaut Van Leeuwen is preparing to reward the patience shown by Ashburn ice cream enthusiasts; the chain is showing indicators that the wait for its treats is nearly over, reports local media outlet The Burn.
Van Leeuwen is one of several businesses opening as part of the expansion of the sprawling One Loudoun shopping center, located at 20626 Easthampton Plaza. The scoop shop was initially announced in September of 2024. Construction has ramped up on Van Leeuwen’s new home and is nearly complete and official signage is up, suggesting delicious ice cream is nearly on One Loudoun’s menu.
An opening date is not presently available for the storefront.
Van Leeuwen has been making waves since it first entered the ice cream scene in 2008. The chain, with its impressive range of both dairy and vegan ice creams, has made a name for itself through its commitment to superior ingredients-the website explains: “Good is choice ingredients. Even if we have to go to Mount Etna to get them. Good is simple ingredients. If it’s tough to pronounce, it’s probably tough to digest.Good is harmonious ingredients. We seek to satisfy omnivores and vegans alike.This is our way. The good way. The Van Leeuwen way. Not just the best way to make ice cream, but to live.”
