The Ark was established in 2003 not only as a place to serve the community delicious ice cream, flurries, sundaes, and an array of fried foods, but also as a youth center for our town's youngsters to spend time together and grow in their faith. For the past 23 years, we have held that mission in the highest regard.
It is our goal to bring you the most delicious ice cream around. It is also our goal to be a family-friendly establishment centered around morality, respect and (most importantly) faith, three attributes we expect our staff — made up entirely of high schoolers — to uphold.
We are open seven days a week in the summer, and Thursday through Sunday during the school year.
There is no better way to spend a summer evening than to round up the family and swing by The Ark for a delicious ice cream cone, flurry or sundae!

Our staff at The Ark is committed to serving our customers with an energetic positivity and an enthusiasm unknown to mankind, all the while providing them with a delicious array of ice cream flavors and fried foods.
The only thing more important to them than serving their customers, though, is serving our Lord. As a Catholic organization, their mission is to bring you both ice cream and the word of God; we want to evangelize everyone who walks through our doors.
