The shop is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

This isn’t the first time the chain has had a location in Garden City Center. A Ben & Jerry’s shop was located next to Applebee’s in the upscale shopping center, but it closed a decade ago, according to the report.
