The Curvins are hoping South Lyon is ready to scream for ice cream later this year.
Chris Curvin and his wife, Christine, plan to open a new ice cream store along Lafayette. Dubbed Curvin's Family Creamery, the Plymouth couple plan to open the nitrogen ice cream business in the former Scrooge and Barley beer supplies shop at 226 S. Lafayette.
"It's something new," said Chris Curvin, who graduated from South Lyon High School. "The main attraction will be the handcrafted ice we make right in front of the customer."
The shop is the first business owned by the couple and is a dream of theirs. Nitrogen ice cream is a phenomenon that's begun to expand across the region, most notably in the Milkster brand, which operates a standalone store in Northville Township and inside a Biggby Coffee in Livonia.

The ingredients are combined before liquid nitrogen, which has a very low boiling point, is added to instantly freeze them. This method prevents large ice crystals from forming, making the ice cream a smoother, more creamy treat. The method also allows for mix-ins, such as cookie pieces, sprinkles and other delicious goodies to be added at various times.
"We have stainless steel bowls, we create every customers order individually in a stainless steel bowl," he said. "We have a nitrogen tank right on the back of the counter, spray it with nitrogen and it creates a kind of show.
"It's the best ice cream I've ever had."
Curvin said the cream will be Michigan-made from the west side of the state.
There's no opening date set yet, but Curvin hopes to open by the time the weather warms up for spring and summer. Renovations continue to happen, as they've needed to gut the space and prepare it to serve ice cream.
The business has been a goal of the couple for some time. After Curvin retired from working in the auto industry, they've began looking around to try and find a location to open such a shop. After looking in places like Ann Arbor, they discovered Scrooge and Barley had closed last year and inked a lease for the space.
Curvin said he's excited at the concept and hopes to bring a fun product to the city he grew up in.
"I always loved South Lyon. I grew up there," Curvin said. "And I noticed they didn't really have an ice cream shop."
