The Outside Scoop is set for their 2026 grand opening today after ownership changed over in the winter. The popular ice cream parlor is known for their homemade hard scooped ice cream with a wide variety of unique flavors. The Outside Scoop is a family-owned ice cream company founded in Indianola. What started as a single pink truck has grown into shops, trucks, and a loyal following across Iowa, with ice cream trucks now rolling into states as far away as Arizona. The restaurant is located at 602 N Jefferson Way.
