Urban Churn launches supermarket distribution, adds Carlisle scoop shop

The Urban Churn shop in Harrisburg

A Harrisburg-based creamery is substantially expanding its reach, opening a new retail store and beginning supermarket sales.

Urban Churn announced today that it plans to open its third scoop shop later this year at 248 Westminster Dr. in Carlisle.

In addition, customers now can purchase the company’s small-batch craft ice cream in Giant Food Stores in Linglestown and on the Carlisle Pike in Mechanicsburg.

Adam Brackbill founded Urban Churn in 2014, opening its scoop shop on N. 3rd Street in Midtown Harrisburg several years later. Last year, the company expanded to a second location on the Carlisle Pike outside of Mechanicsburg.

According to Brackbill, more retail shops will follow, as will more supermarket locations, including Wegmans in Mechanicsburg.

Moreover, Urban Churn recently renovated and opened a commissary in Harrisburg with an expanded churning facility to increase ice cream production and with loading docks to facilitate greater distribution.

The product line available in retail locations is also expanding. Customers soon will be able to purchase flavored popsicles, ice cream cakes, waffle cone chips and more, according to Brackbill.

Due to the expansion, Urban Churn stated that it is now hiring drivers, churners and in-shop team members.
