After 33 years, Whitey’s Ice Cream has officially closed its location at North Park Mall in Davenport, IA.

The store, which opened in 1987, originally closed on March 19^th due to COVID-19 and has remained closed since that time. With the lease ending soon, the decision was made to permanently close the store a couple months early.

“While we are saddened by this closing, we knew it was the right time,” said Jeff Tunberg, co-owner of Whitey’s Ice Cream. “We are thankful for the 33 years we had with this store and hold many dear memories of our time at North Park Mall.”

Jon Tunberg, co-owner of Whitey’s, added that “Whitey’s would like to thank each and every customer for their business at this location over the past 33 years. Additionally, we want to thank all of our extraordinary employees who helped build this location into a fantastic store.”

Whitey’s Ice Cream will continue to operate eight stores in the Quad Cities. Additionally, Whitey’s can be purchased at grocery stores throughout the Midwest and ordered for shipping across the country at www.whiteysicecream.com/shop.

Our Rock Island store is back open starting Monday, August 31! All employees working have tested negative (or were never exposed) and the store has been deep cleaned again. We are continuing to take every precaution to ensure our employees’ and customers’ safety and we are thrilled to be back open!

Today is not our day – we just heard that an employee at our Rock Island location tested positive for COVID as well. The employee did not have any symptoms and did not get it at work. Although, we are not required to close the store, we are going to do so for a few days so that employees can get tested and the store can be deep cleaned again.

UPDATE:

Our East Moline store is back open starting Friday, August 28! We are still waiting on a few employees’ tests results, but all employees working have tested negative (or were never exposed) and the store has been extremely deep cleaned. We are continuing to take every precaution to ensure our employees’ and customers’ safety and we are thrilled to be back open!

We were just informed that an employee at our East Moline location has tested positive for COVID-19. Given this news, we are going to close down our East Moline location for a few days in order to deep clean the store and give the employees who worked time to get tested. This employee did not work at the store since before the weekend, and no other employees are showing symptoms. All other locations will remain open and check back for more information on our East Moline store.

Please know we are doing everything we can to keep our employees safe and healthy while at work and we greatly appreciate your understanding and support during these strange times.
