Two locations in Seattle, on the waterfront and in West Seattle, opened last year.<\/p>\n<p>But, according to Neitzel, Kirkland has been on her wish list for a long time. The first Molly Moon\u2019s location opened in 2008 in Seattle\u2019s Wallingford neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal is not national domination at all,\u201d Neitzel told The Puget Sound Business Journal. \u201cI have always believed in growing in concentric circles. Like, before we\u2019re in Tacoma, we\u2019ll be in a shop between Tacoma and Seattle, so that it\u2019s easier on our delivery team and it logistically makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Neitzel, Molly Moon\u2019s has no plans to expand beyond the Puget Sound region at this time.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Frank Sumrall\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FMSumrall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">on X<\/a>.\u00a0Send\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/contact-us\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">news tips here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/newsletters\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MyNWBreakingNewsEmail-300X250.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"mobile-signup\"\/>\t&#13;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MyNWBreakingNewsEmail-830x100-1.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"desktop-signup\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Molly Moon\u2019s Homemade Ice Cream is opening its 12th location, this time in Kirkland.
