Scope and content
As the store name indicated, a customer could buy 28 flavors of ice cream at Louis Lamken's 28 Flavors Ice Creamery on Gravelly Lake Dr. The small store had wall-to-wall glass, making it easy for sweet-seeking customers to check out the variety of ice cream. Listed on the wall were signs naming all the flavors; larger signs indicating the familiar chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry with the more exotic Hawaiian Delight, caramel fudge and pistachio were pasted on the storefront windows. It is believed that the name of the ice cream store is new as a 24 Flavors Ice Cream store had been at the same location, 8922 Gravelly Lake Dr., prior to its move to the Villa Plaza Shopping Center next to Thrifty Drugs. 24 Flavors, owned by Mrs. Ellice Westrope, celebrated its grand opening May 17-18, 1958.
