BoJo’s on the grow: Ice cream shop to open in Boardman, expand in Mahoning Valley

Staff report

Boardman

Boardman’s newest ice cream stand will open the last week of April, just in time for warm weather.

BoJo’s Creamery, which first opened an Austintown store in December, will open on Market Street in the former Los Gallos Express building.

Bob McAllister and his partner John Evan are looking to expand the chain throughout the Mahoning Valley with either Niles or Salem eyed for their next location — expected sometime in the next year or so.

“We looked at and purchased the Boardman building because the drive-thru is our main feature,” McAllister said. “When it rains people still want ice cream and it helps the business.”
