Hub City Scoops ice cream shop coming to downtown Spartanburg

It's been three years since Kathy and Michael Silverman were announced as one of three winners of our first Main Street Challenge, helping to pave the way for what has since become a staple of downtown Spartanburg's eastern end, The Local Hiker.Having made that investment, and with a few years under their belts as successful downtown business owners, you wouldn't blame the couple for resting on their laurels a bit. Instead, they've decided that one downtown business just won't do. So they're opening a second one. Just down the block from The Local Hiker, the Silvermans next venture is getting off the ground, an ice cream shop called Hub City Scoops. Once ready the shop's 1,900-square-foot space at 147 East Main Street will become the first location in South Carolina to serve Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream, a super-premium brand out of Madison, Wisconsin. Today on the podcast, we're talking with Michael and Kathy about the new business. Listen below for more.
