We are excited to announce that our second Bettendorf location is OPENING TODAY!!! This brand new store is located at 3491 Forest Grove Drive and will open at 10:00am on Monday, January 12, 2026! We are thrilled to welcome you to this beautiful, new Whitey’s Ice Cream!
A few things to know about this new store:
- Drive-Thru: We have updated our drive-thru system for this new location. We will now have three drive-thru windows, the first two designed to take orders and the third on the opposite side of the building for order pickup!
- Dry Ice: Our Glen Grove location will have dry ice available for sale. Ask the store manager or supervisor for details.
- Entering the Store: Guests can enter the Glen Grove development on Rainforest Drive off either Forest Grove Drive or Devils Glen Road.
- Menu: This location will feature all of your favorite flavors, the only menu change will be that this store does not have a soda machine, so we are unable to offer pop, pop floats, sodas or freezes.
The store was built as a partnership with Geifman Group. The new location was announced on June 13, 2025 with the groundbreaking taking place on June 30, 2025. The last Whitey’s Ice Cream store that opened was our Eldridge location in January 2017. Prior to that, our last free-standing, new build store was our East Moline location, which opened in 2008.
We have been training our Glen Grove employees at our original Bettendorf location since May 2025 and they are excited to work at their new home store. We expect to have between 35-50 employees employed at this store depending on the season.

Our Bettendorf store located on Middle Road will still be open and serving our wonderful customers.
We are excited to welcome you to this new location and serve you the “Best in the Midwest”!
