Brock MarchantThe writing is (literally) on the wall — Cache Valley is getting another ice cream shop.
In recent weeks, crews installed a Handel’s Ice Cream sign on a building in downtown Logan, and last week, the company said the location is “opening soon” on its website.
The new shop will sit at 45 N. Main St., next to the Carol and Jim Laub Plaza, which features a splash pad in the summer and ice-skating rink in the winter.
(Brock Marchant | The Salt Lake Tribune) Handel's plans to dish out its desserts in Logan this year.
Logan spokesperson George Woodward said the city recently issued a building permit to remodel the interior of the upcoming ice cream shop.
According to Hillary Frei, the chief marketing officer for Handel’s Ice Cream, the Ohio-based company has not released an opening date for its Logan location, but it is looking to start scooping its frozen dessert sometime this year.
Handel’s once topped National Geographic’s Top 10 list of best ice cream spots.
The new ice cream shop will be the 14th Handel’s Ice Cream location in Utah.

I’m Brock Marchant, The Salt Lake Tribune’s Cache Valley reporter in partnership with Utah Public Radio. As a valley native, I’ve seen firsthand the issues that people face everywhere from Richmond to Avon — unaffordable housing, dwindling open space and a rapidly increasing population that has cities struggling to keep up. I want to explore local problems by reporting on the ground, not just quote elected officials and news releases. As residents work diligently to overcome challenges, I want to tell their stories and share their solutions. Smart, hard-working people have built the valley’s history, and I’m certain they will frame its future.
