Bruster's Real Ice Cream held a soft opening Jan. 23 at its new location at 4836 FM 1488, Conroe, near the Xscape Theatre, franchise owner Edmund Martinez said. Martinez said he was hoping to open the location sooner but permit delays, supply chain issues and weather pushed back the opening date.

Bruster's Real Ice Cream specializes in ice cream made in store with a variety of flavors as well as other desserts such as sundaes, cakes and shakes. This is the company's third location in the Houston area with stores in Spring and Cypress. 832-476-7101. www.brusters.com/woodlands
