After seven years in the Shops of Prairie Village, Chill in the Village will close its doors on May 31st.

• Sweet Relief: Chill in the Village will continue scooping ice cream and booking truck events through May 31st. But to our fellow sweet tooths, never fear! The space at 6966 Mission Road will soon be scooping sweet treats again, this time as St. Louis-based Clementine’s Creamery.

• Cross-State Scoops: Clementine’s Creamery has built a huge following in the St. Louis area, with eight metro locations and a following of 60,000+ on social media. They offer naughty (containing alcohol) and nice ice cream, as well as non-dairy options.
