It's opening day tomorrow for What's The Scoop?, a new ice cream shop on Saskatchewan Avenue West in Portage la Prairie. Owner Rhonda Lodwick says she's excited to see it come together.

"I'm just super excited. It's been quite a long project here the last couple of months. Nice to see it all finally come together. And the staff are eager to start serving ice cream. We're so excited to invite the public and friends and family in."

Lodwick says the idea came from a friend.

Rhonda Lodwick"Actually a colleague friend of mine in Ontario has an ice cream shop, and she had talked about how fun it was and exciting. I just figured Portage was missing that. And maybe we should give it a shot and try it out."

She compares it with her continuing work in real estate.

"It's certainly a new direction. But you know I love the real estate, and it's my passion, and ice cream is probably another one. So, it's a great mix. I'm just hoping everybody comes out and enjoys it."

"What's the Scoop?" opens tomorrow morning from 11:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m., seven days a week. The grand opening will take place in a couple of weeks.
