My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
Everyone has a favorite ice cream place. It might be one of those local hidden gems where you grew up and have fond memories of. I know that as a kid there was one ice cream place at the bottom of my neighborhood and the day it opened for the season I rode my bike there with whatever money I could gather and get the biggest cone I could. These found memories and the delicious sugary flavor brings people back again and again. What is everyone’s favorite ice cream place in the Tri-Cites? The Scoop in Gray Tennessee, has everyone in town talking, and for good reason.
A family-owned ice cream parlor was opened in 2021 and has quickly become everyones favorite. Located in a little strip mall in Gray you can blink and miss it but what is hidden inside is well worth the visit.
At Scoops you will find kind and friendly locals who are happy to help you and have a little fun while they are at it. The laid-back and fun atmosphere is just another reason why people love this little ice cream store. The girls who serve the ice cream are called the “scoopets” and they even remember repeat guests and are happy to deliver on their favorite flavors once again.

You will also find clever art covering the walls to further add to the fun.
From a colorful feature wall with oozing layers like ice cream flowing down to ice cream cones splattered on the wall as if they were stuck there at the moment of impact. You will find not only a great place to kick back and relax but you will also get to do it in a fun artsy environment.
There are multiple flavors to choose from and if you are lactose intolerant or in need of gluten-free options they have that too! It is rare to find a good place to offer options for those who can’t partake in the luscious dairy options but you won’t have to worry about that here.
They also offer a plethora of toppings to add a little extra to your cup or cone. Add a heaping dose of rainbow sprinkles, or decorate with a gummy bear topper.
Two Scoop Tuesdays will give you two scoops for the price of one, Family Fridays give kids free ice cream with an adult purchase. Thursdays are the busiest days for this sweet shop because they literally split the cost of a banana split. Customize an artistful banana split for half the price! This family-friendly place is great for just gathering around the ones you love all while enjoying everyone's favorite frozen treat.
