Would you order late-night ice cream delivery if a shop opened near you?

Scoop N Scootery plans to open a late-night ice cream delivery shop at 9605 N. Tryon St. in University City, with the opening expected in February 2027. Franchise licensee Patrick Knorring also plans to open four Scoop N Scootery stores across the Metro Charlotte area over the next couple of years.

Why it matters

The location across from UNC Charlotte was chosen to attract college students seeking late-night delivery of sweet treats. The new shop is also expected to shorten the drive for some customers who currently travel to the Thrift Road location from Concord and other parts of University City.

Scoop N Scootery plans four Metro Charlotte stores over the next couple of years, and its delivery service runs until 2 a.m. The extraction does not provide revenue, sales, or unit-volume figures for the chain or the new location.

Scoop N Scootery sells sundaes, frozen yogurt, milkshakes, and custom creations, and customers can order through third-party apps or pick up in person.

Market Landscape

The planned shop extends the app-driven late-night delivery model into a dedicated storefront aimed at college students near UNC Charlotte. Its placement across from campus targets the same late-night demand that third-party ordering platforms serve.

Late-night dessert seekers near UNC Charlotte will gain a closer delivery option once the shop opens. Residents in Concord and University City who currently drive to the Thrift Road location may find a shorter trip after February 2027.

The takeaway

Late-night delivery storefronts near campuses are a practical way for food brands to reach student customers. Readers interested in the new shop can track its progress through the planned November and December 2026 milestones.

What happens next

Architects' plans for the shop are scheduled for review on Nov. 3, 2026, and contractor work is planned to begin in December 2026 ahead of the planned February 2027 opening.
