Chevelle, a dedicated teacher, and Rich, a hardworking construction professional, were both looking for a way to bring a little more joy into their daily lives that would not only support their family but also bring smiles to their community. With the encouragement and support of family members who own an ice cream shoppe near Des Moines, the couple turned their dream into reality. In 2018, they opened their first ice cream shoppe, Here’s the Scoop, in Davenport, Iowa.
Since then, they have grown into two thriving storefronts and a busy food truck; each one built on creativity, community, and a whole lot of ice cream made from local and natural ingredients. But the journey wasn’t always smooth. The Sampsons faced roadblocks early on, struggling with unreliable machines that couldn’t keep up with their demands or their high standards of quality.
That changed the moment they purchased the Electro Freeze® BI2E, a high-capacity batch freezer that has become the heartbeat of their operation. Chevelle needed a machine they could count on. The BI2E now runs at least six hours a day, producing consistent, creamy ice cream every time.Here’s the Scoop is now a local favorite for their creative small-batch flavors and their customer-first approach. The BI2E’s performance and reliability have given them peace of mind and the freedom to focus on what matters most: delivering handcrafted, custom ice cream that keeps customers coming back.
