WESTWOOD IS ABOUT TO GET a whole lot sweeter. Bruster’s Real Ice Cream, at 513 Broadway, will celebrate its grand opening weekend Sept. 6–8 with a lineup of family-friendly activities and celebrations.

John and Heather Harrison, co-owners of the new location, are eager to serve and support the Westwood community. Heather, a Bruster’s veteran who began her journey as a teenage “scooper” at a Bruster’s in Pennsylvania, expressed her enthusiasm. 

She tells Pascack Press,  “Aside from being able to marry our love of ice cream with our passion for owning a small business, we are thrilled at the opportunity to participate in and support the community of Westwood.”

Heather adds, “Ice cream is a great business to be in. It’s simple and fun. Whether you’re looking for something to celebrate or seeking comfort, ice cream is often at the center of family, friends, and community. We are excited for people to taste and experience the magic of Bruster’s ice cream at our upcoming grand opening.”

The grand opening festivities will include complimentary samples of Bruster’s signature flavors, including special limited-time September offerings. Guests can enjoy a variety of activities such as a prize wheel, family patio games, balloon twisting, face painting, a nighttime DJ, and a glow stick party. 

Customers will have the opportunity to win free ice cream for a year by entering a sweepstakes running Aug. 26 through Sept. 8. To enter, visit Brusters.com/Sweeps/Westwood or check out the Bruster’s of Westwood Facebook and Instagram pages for details.

Beyond the classic ice cream offerings, Bruster’s also features non-dairy oat milk flavors, sherbet, Italian ice, and sorbet.
