Blue Marble Flagship Store To Close

The rising rents of Atlantic Avenue have claimed another victim: Blue Marble Ice Cream, whose flagship store opened at 420 Atlantic Avenue back in 2007, will be moving out in the coming weeks, a result of the landlord’s efforts to raise the rent. “We’re very sad to leave the neighborhood, especially since this was shop our ‘first-born,'” said founder Alexis Miesen in an email, “but we were left with no alternative.” Ice cream fanatics need not totally despair though: Blue Marble’s other stores on Court and Underhill are going strong—and you can always get a scoop at The Flea on Saturdays! You can see the $3,500-a-month listing for the new space here, though, from what we hear, 900 square feet might be overstating the case a bit.
lalaland – one down, seven to go!
You have something to add to the discussion, lalaland? now anything about commercial leases, rents in the area or even ice cream???? No, I thought not.
I love their ginger ice cream.
$3,500 per month doesn’t seem like crazy rent for commercial on Atlantic Ave.
people over the age of 10 should not be eating ice cream anyway hahah
*rob*
I sure hope there are at least 8 more postings by DIBS on this subject….

I hear there’s a new Brooklyn special scoop: Gowanus Water Ice sprinkled with bed bug parts.
Note: Philadelphians call Italian Ice “water ice.” Yes, I know, it’s stupid.
“Blue Marble is overrated.”
Have to choose the right flavor. I love the strawberry one. Some of the others aren’t anything special.
I go to the one on Underhill quite often, which does indeed seem busy whenever I am there.
Not $10 a scoop, more like just under $4 IIRC for a very large scoop.
