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!

To add even more excitement, Maine’s Female Athlete of the Year and Skowhegan High School graduate, Jaycie Christopher threw out the first pitch at the 5:30 PM game on Monday August 8th. Christopher is heading to UMaine to play basketball and made history when she was named Miss Maine Basketball and Miss Maine Softball in the same season.

We are proud of these young athletes and look forward to watching more games this week! See you at the ball field! #giffordsicecream

Batter up! The 2022 Cal Ripken 12U World Series is

Batter up! The 2022 Cal Ripken 12U World Series is about to get underway for the first time ever in Maine, and we can't wait to root for the home teams! Twelve ball clubs from across the country, including four from Maine, will compete at Purnell Wrigley Field, one of two sanctioned Major League Baseball replica fields, in Waterville from August 6 - 13.

In celebration of being named the Cal Ripken World Series Ice Cream of Choice, we crafted a limited-edition flavor now available at our family stands! So say hello to Graham Slam, a creamy graham-flavored ice cream with a big hit of graham cracker ripple and chocolate coated honey crisps.

Join us in wishing these young athletes good luck! We'll see you at the field -- play ball!
