FANTASTICKS GELATO OPENING THURSDAY IN ASHBURN

The new gelato bar stand is coming to One Loudoun.

Fantasticks, the new make-your-own gelato bar shop you first heard about here on The Burn, is scheduled to open this Thursday at One Loudoun.

The sweet treat stand is part of the “Four Corners” outdoor patio at One Loudoun, between Uncle Julio’s and Slapfish. It features outdoor seating and two shipping containers converted into shops. Fantasticks Customized Gelato Bars & Pops is taking the spot formerly occupied by Nollypop Boutique.

As The Burn first told you back in February (see our story here), the idea behind the shop is that you pick out a frozen gelato bar or pop flavor, then dip it and top it with a varieties of flavors and treats. Should be a hit on hot days this coming summer.

Another Fantasticks location recently opened in Frederick, Md.
