Aglamesis Bros' is expanding to Hamilton with a parlor at 304 Main St. set to open later this summer or early fall.

Aglamesis Bros. Ice Cream and Chocolate’s Hamilton location is set to open in two weeks.

President and CEO Randy Young said they will open the Main Street location on Oct. 10, which will be the first new Aglamesis Bros. store in more than five decades. A grand opening ribbon cutting is planned for 3 p.m.

Hamilton Planning Director Lauren Nelson said the city and CORE, the city organization that manages funds and properties, “are thrilled” for the grand opening date being set.

“Their delicious ice cream and chocolates will be a great compliment to the other small businesses and restaurants in the Main Street Business District,” she said.

Aglamesis Bros. will open in the Davis Building at 304 Main St. in Hamilton’s urban core. It’s at the corner of D and Main streets in a growing area of the city. The 513 Bar, across D Street, opened early this year, and True West is across Main Street. Rossville Flats opened nearly a year ago.

Greater Hamilton Chamber of Commerce Dan Bates said he’s long-been excited about the business opening, but working with the people behind the family business, he’s even “more excited” than when the expansion was announced in July.

Aglamesis Bros other locations are on Cincinnati’s east side, at 3046 Madison Road in Oakley and 9899 Montgomery Road in Montgomery.

Previously, Young told the Journal-news a management team is on board, and they are not looking to fill jobs as his staff had received more resumes than jobs. However, he said the company will evaluate staffing needs after the store is up and running.
