When thinking of ice cream in Vancouver<\/a>, many immediately think of Earnest.<\/p>\n

The chain, which has been operating for nearly ten years, is best known for its rotating selection of inventive flavours. Think varieties like cannoli, butter pecan, field berry cheesecake, carrot cake, and more.<\/p>\n

Now, the Vancouver staple is gearing up for its fifth location in the city, this time on Granville Island.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe try to make each shop unique,\u201d said co-founder Erica Bernardi in a press release. \u201cThis could be our last location, so we knew we wanted it to feel really special. We\u2019ve always trusted our gut when it comes to choosing spaces \u2014 community first, and then everything else. It\u2019s harder than it sounds to find somewhere that checks all the practical boxes and just feels right. This one does.\u201d<\/p>\n

The local mini chain shared that this new location will be rooted in Granville Island\u2019s character. The space, designed by Studio Roslyn, will draw inspiration from Granville Island\u2019s maritime history while also featuring work from local artists throughout the space.<\/p>\n

Earnest\u2019s jar-return program will also be available at this location, allowing customers to bring back pint jars to be washed and reused.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrowth is exciting, but we\u2019re clear-eyed about what it costs,\u201d said co-CEO and co-founder Ben Ernst. \u201cChange can strain the culture our team has built together, so we\u2019ve always been deliberate about where we put down roots. We open in neighbourhoods where we actually want to spend time \u2014 places worth lingering in. Ice cream has a way of doing that to people. When you have a cone in your hand, you slow down. You wander. You notice things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earnest isn\u2019t the only Vancouver favourite to open on Granville Island, as Burdy\u2019s<\/a> has also announced it will be opening a storefront just steps away.<\/p>\n

An exact opening date for Earnest Granville Island has yet to be announced, but expect to stop by for a scoop (or a pint) sometime this fall.<\/p>\n
