Lubbock Business Unable To Make Comeback, Has Liquidation Sale

A Lubbock business closed back in September of 2023, with the hope that the closure would be temporary and that the owner would find a way to come back and continue to serve the Lubbock community.

And we ALL wanted that, because not only do we all love ice cream, but the business also provided jobs for folks with intellectual disabilities. It was Howdy's Ice Cream, which was located at 2628 W Loop 289 Acc Rd #300, inside the West End Center.

However, that just never happened, and the location has sat there empty for quite sometime. Now the items in the store are subject to a liquidation sale, which will be hosted by Hidden Treasures Estate Sales.

The inventory from the ice cream shop will be for sale at a warehouse located at 7423 82nd Street, Suite 2and will begin tomorrow (Thursday, March 27th) at 10:00 a.m. For more dates and times, check out their Facebook post.

Includied in the sale are tables and chairs, ice cream freezers, waffle cone makers and other restaurant supplies. There is also a safe and cash box. And plenty of miscellanous items including signage for the store.

There are other locations Howdy's Homemade Ice Cream, but it would be a bit of a drive- locations include Dallas, Katy, Shreveport, Bossier City, Denver and Indianapolis. Two more locations are planned for the future, too, but not in Lubbock.

All Howdy's homemade locations employ individuals with disabilties. It's "amazing ice cream by amazing people." It's just too bad we couldn't keep it here in Lubbock.
