Fountainville

Founded by a family of entrepreneurs and generations of business owners, Fountainville was founded on the principles of community. They often contribute to community organizations and projects such as local food banks, women’s shelters, and education initiatives. The shop hopes to create a space where visitors can come in and remember that they are able to enjoy the simpler things in life - like ice cream! Fountainville is old fashioned, yet modern with experimental flavors that are unique to the West Texas region. A local favorite is their Black Gold flavor, combing honey graham crackers, locally sourced honey, and food grade activated charcoal that can help stimulate detoxification throughout the body. The dark color nods to the history of the region with oil production and the local Texans who helped make it all possible.
