Lynnie Lou’s?

Lynnie Lou’s sits on the south end of the Village of Naples. The popular hot (or cool!) spot will open on Friday, April 30th at 11AM for their 12th season. With all their choices of delicious ice cream and custard, including lactose free and fat free options, fresh fruit smoothies, frappes, shakes, ice cream cakes and pies, and a focus on locally sourced fresh fruits and homemade toppings, Lynnie Lou’s is a “must-seeand-try,” 7 days a week, from April-October.

What’s special about Lynnie Lou’s?

“Customer service and quality ingredients are our top priorities,” states Lynn. “Our ice cream artists serve you with kindness and efficiency. We welcome your pets; each one gets a treat at our windows!”

The 2021 season will see increased speed and efficiency with the addition of two walk-up windows along with their drive-thru window. Lynn and Mark hope to continue with all the traditions of the past 11 seasons, including periodic live music, their cruise/grill night, free bikes, and a family-friendly atmosphere, so stay tuned!

Who is Behind all this Deliciousness?

Owners, husband and wife, Lynn Musclow and Mark Steinmetz had a dream to open a business. With two careers in full swing, it would be a challenging task. Still, who doesn’t love a challenge, especially when you are surrounded by ice cream? Lynn grew up in the restaurant business, and a seasonal ice cream stand was a perfect fit for their busy lives.

When Huntone’s Cones became available in 2010, it was “game on!” Mark and Lynn were able to manage their busy careers as well as the ice cream business. In 2020, Lynn was able to retire to pursue her ice cream shop work “full speed ahead!” Though it was a challenging year, the pandemic has made many of us think outside the box to provide our customers with the safest and best service possible. With this in mind, they have made some structural changes in time to begin their new season.
