Clark's Will Hang Up Scoops for the Season Soon

Here's the scoop: Stop by the little store with the giant ice cream cone on the corner of Tyler and 12 Mile Road in Berkley while you can.

Local favorite will keep its doors open through November, but plans to lock up near the first of December.

"We closed last year after the parade," Clark's scooper Brian Mothorpe said. "So, we'll see how it goes this year."

The will be held starting at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 3.

But don't worry, that still leaves plenty of time to sample two seasonal flavors: Pumpkin and Egg Nog. Clark's has 60 flavors on hand, including Stroh's and Hamden, Michigan's Ashly's Ice Cream, which are stored in an Oak Park facility.

A steady stream of customers remains ready to eat ice cream, despite cooler temperatures. The popular parlor opened March 1, when the possibility of staying open year-round was discussed.

"We're actually thinking about staying open year-round," . "We didn't close down until Dec. 6, and it was still fairly busy."

This time around, the shop may see the same kind of action.

The store is open from noon to 9:30 on weekdays and noon to 10 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. It will be closed Nov. 24 for Thanksgiving.
