Local couple Jack and Aly Plimpton will open an ice cream shop near the upcoming Chipotle in 2025.

In a nutshell

Jeremiah’s Italian Ice offers dozens of flavors for its housemade Italian ice, ice cream and the brand’s “jelati”—a combination of the two.

What to expect

Jack Plimpton said the shop will feature a fun atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, as well as walk-up windows.


“We hope to create a place for community, fun and a cool, vibrant time,” he said. “Whether it is for an after-school treat, an evening adventure or a relief stop during errands, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice will be able to help.”

Meet the owners

Recently married, the Plimptons moved to Bastrop in 2022 after attending the Bastrop Music Festival during a visit.

“We instantly fell in love with the town,” Jack Plimpton said. “We hope to contribute to and enhance such a wonderful place while protecting its charm.”
