Whitey's Ice Creams Closing In Rock Island, Moline, Davenport, Bettendorf, East MolineRock Island, Moline, Davenport, Bettendorf and throughout the Quad-Cities, ice cream fans aren’t going to be able to get the malts, or get the shakes.

Whitey’s Ice Cream, a sweet institution throughout the area, will be temporarily closing all their stores starting Friday.

The announcement came today, via Facebook:

“As of ‪Friday, April 3 at 10:00 p.m.‬ all Whitey’s stores will be closing temporarily. As much as we would love to stay open and continue serving the Quad Cities, we are closing out of an abundance of caution to ensure that our employees are staying healthy and safe at home during this time. This does not affect Whitey’s availability at grocery stores at this time.

“The decision to close was not an easy one and we know the road ahead is uncertain, but we want to thank you all for your constant support over the years.

We will continue to provide updates on our social channels and website, so stay tuned! But in the meantime, we hope everyone stays safe and healthy and that we will be back to doing what we love, serving you ice cream, very soon!”

Life without Whitey’s is going to be much colder.
