Family Stands
AUBURN

CLOSED FOR THE SEASON

We have made the difficult decision to close our Auburn family-owned ice cream stand early for the season.

Like many businesses around the country and here in Maine, we have been working through significant staffing difficulties this summer, and our Auburn stand has proven to be the most challenging. At Gifford’s, we care greatly about the customer experience we provide at our family-owned stands, and right now, without adequate staffing, that experience doesn’t meet our standards in Auburn. This has led us to make this difficult decision to close early. The Auburn stand has closed to customers as of Sunday, August 7, 2022 at 9 pm.

We know this will be a disappointment to many in the community, and we are working hard to find a creative solution so that we can still serve the area with Gifford’s HomeMaine ice cream. Our hope is to host a series of pop-ups with our new mobile Scoop Shack at various locations in the local community. We will share these dates and locations on our social media channels and through our newsletter when we have them.

We appreciate your support and understanding, and enjoy being a part of your summer traditions each year. We look forward to being back next summer!
