Local Army veteran, Philip Harrell, has quickly become a beloved figure in the Virginia Beach community with his ice cream shop, Sundae Scoop. After opening the first location in Kempsville in 2021, Harrell has now expanded with a second shop in Chesapeake. The success of Sundae Scoop is attributed to its creamy, rich ice cream made in-house with locally-sourced milk and cream.
Harrell, who had various jobs before pursuing his passion for ice cream, hopes to inspire other veterans to find fulfilling careers post-military. Having experienced the sacrifices veterans make, he understands the need for support in transitioning from military life to civilian life. By sharing his story and success with Sundae Scoop, he aims to encourage other veterans to pursue their dreams and find happiness in their post-military careers.
As the nation celebrates National Black Business Month, Harrell’s story serves as a testament to perseverance and dedication. His journey from selling textbooks and insurance to becoming a successful ice cream shop owner highlights the importance of following one’s passion and never giving up on a dream.
For those looking for summer employment opportunities, Sundae Scoop is still hiring and welcomes applicants to join their team. Harrell’s commitment to serving his community and providing delicious ice cream has solidified Sundae Scoop as a local favorite, with the new Chesapeake location poised to become just as popular as the original Virginia Beach shop.
