Gozo’s Ice Cream just opened a brand-new spot on the Eastside, and it is another big win for one of El Paso’s most meaningful local establishments. The new shop sits at 9640 Montwood Dr., Suite E200, right across from Eastwood High School, giving students, families, and Eastside residents a fresh place to cool off with handcrafted ice cream.
New Gozos Location Opens on Montwood
Gozo’s marked the opening of its Montwood location with a ribbon-cutting celebration that brought out families, supporters, and fans of the shop’s handcrafted flavors. This second location represents another step forward for a business that has become a local favorite for both its treats and its mission. The expansion into East El Paso makes it easier than ever for more people to experience what makes Gozo’s special.
Why Gozos Is More Than an Ice Cream Shop
Most ice cream shops focus on flavors, but Gozo’s is built around people too. Operated by the El Paso Community Foundation, Gozo’s Ice Cream was created to provide meaningful employment opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Both the Montwood store and the original downtown shop offer supportive, skill-building work environments that help employees grow professionally and personally. Visitors feel that purpose the moment they walk in. It is a warm environment grounded in empowerment, inclusion, and intentional community impact.
