National ice cream chain opens only central Ohio location

REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio (WCMH) – A national ice cream chain has returned to central Ohio after closing its only local shop in 2022. 

Bruster’s opened its doors at 7330 E. Main St. in Reynoldsburg on Nov. 14. This marks Bruster’s only central Ohio location, as its Polaris shop at 1515 Gemini Place shut down in 2022. The chain has four other shops in Ohio, all located in the northeast part of the state, according to its website. 

The ice cream shop serves flavors such as birthday cake, cherry vanilla, chocolate chip cookie dough, dragon fruit sorbet and pistachio. It also serves cakes, pies, milkshakes, slushies and other specialty items. 

Bruster's first opened in 1989 in Pennsylvania and has since expanded to nearly 200 locations across 22 states, according to its website. The chain offers at least 24 ever-changing flavors at all its shops daily and has more than 150 flavors in rotation. 

The Reynoldsburg ice cream shop is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
