“It’s a dream come true for our little Portland, Oregon ice cream company to have the opportunity to expand our relationship with Disney and open at Disney Springs,” said CEO and Co-Founder Kim Malek. “We love to use ice cream to remix flavors you already know while exploring food trends, social issues and small, local makers. It’s so exciting to bring our unique combination of comfort and adventure to the big stage at Disney World.”
Founded in 2011 by cousins Kim and Tyler Malek, the Portland-based ice cream company has scoop shops in Anaheim, Los Angeles, Miami, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle. For its newest location, Salt & Straw worked closely with long-term and award-winning partner, Osmose Design, to create a one-of-a-kind shop including custom details and hand-touches that reflect the intentionality of the company’s ice cream. The scoop shop will also feature a three-dimensional mural to further enhance this iconic location.
