Detroit Water Ice
Factory Announces
Local Pop-Up
Mitch Albom works at the counter of the
Detroit Water Ice Factory.
Detroit, a city known for its own
iconic foods, is about to get a sec-
ond dose of delicious, refreshing and
iconic desserts — and every dime
raised will go to help fellow citizens
in the Detroit region.
The Detroit Water Ice Factory,
which opened its flagship location at
1014 Woodward Ave. in Downtown
Detroit in August 2015, will open
its second location — a “pop-up
experience” at the iconic Franklin
Cider Mill, 7460 Franklin Road in
Bloomfield Hills, at the end of May.
It will remain open through August,
after which time the cider mill will
resume its normal fall season.
The brainchild of author, col-
umnist and philanthropist Mitch
Albom, the store follows the
“Newman’s Own” model of philan-
thropy, offering delicious, top-of-the-
line food products with the sole goal
of raising funds to help others.
“After two amazing summers in
the city, we’re thrilled to add Detroit
Water Ice to a suburban location,”
Albom says. “There remains nothing
like it in our area — incredible des-
serts with all money going to help
others — and the kindness of the
Franklin Cider Mill in sharing their
space with us can’t be overstated.”
Besides the newly introduced
water ice (an East Coast treat),
other offerings include the Motown
Twist (water ice in combination
with soft serve ice cream), Motown
Mash (whipping creams, Cool Whip,
chocolate chip cookies and Khalua
flavoring), “ice” pudding (rice pud-
ding without the “R” in four different
flavors) and Mitch’s “Tofutti Pie” in
a cup (the pie version of a former
offering at Hogan’s Restaurant).
All the profits from the Detroit
Water Ice Factory will go to helping
Detroit’s neediest citizens under
S.A.Y. Detroit’s “umbrella,” which
includes a family health clinic, after-
school academic enrichment pro-
grams and placing deserving fami-
lies in homes through its Working
Homes/Working Families initiative.
“As someone who lives nearby,
I really look forward to summer
nights with a large mango water ice
with vanilla soft serve on top, sitting
by the rushing water and enjoying
the historic cider mill location,”
Albom says. “We hope families will
come out and treat themselves to
some of the 16 flavors. We always
say, ‘There are no calories in doing
good so you can’t gain weight!’” •
