Do gummy bears belong on ice cream?
Apparently, they did on Saturday as hundreds of Vallejoans flocked to the new CREAM dessert store in the Redwood Plaza Shopping Center to celebrate the store’s grand opening.
A line snaked around the business as the business offered to give the first 1,000 patrons a free ice cream sandwich of their choosing.
Soleil Pendergast, 10, was one of the first through the door on Saturday. She decided to get gummy bears on her coffee ice cream surrounded by a chocolate chip cookie.
“It’s good,” she said with a smile before re-focusing her attention on the dessert.
CREAM, which stands for “Cookies Rule Everything Around Me,” first opened in 2010 by Jimmy and Gus Shamieh in Berkeley. Since then franchises have been opened throughout California, Colorado, and Florida.
“We wanted to thank the Vallejo community for the beautiful turnout today,” said Gus Shamieh minutes before the store’s grand opening while looking at the lengthy line. “People wanted us here in town and we want to be here.”
Co-owner of the Vallejo franchise, Raj Dhillon was running around, cleaning up and helping to get sandwiches together.
“Whatever I need to do, I’ll do it,” he said smiling as the first patrons started streaming into the store. “I’ve been in food service industry for 20 years and by far CREAM is the best company — they treat everyone right.”
Many took the opportunity to take a picture of their sandwich or pose with friends and family and take a selfie before leaving the store. Also, it was confirmed that by the 10th patron, part of the store’s floor was sticky from dropped ice cream.
A party atmosphere met guests in line as they were invited to spin a prize wheel before entering the business. A DJ played music while kids were invited to get inside a jump house and have fund — sans ice cream sandwiches.
His first time at a CREAM store, Payton Garcia was the first in line, along with Eve Billings, and Michael Brantley.
Garcia decided to get the birthday cake ice cream between two cookies.
“I like it,” Garcia said as he chowed down on the sweet confection.
