East Providence area ice cream lovers are about to get a whole lot sweeter this spring. Rhode Island fan-favorite Tizzy K’s Cereal Ice Cream is officially expanding into Rumford with a brand-new location set to open this month at 45 Newport Avenue on the Rumford-Pawtucket line.
Known for its wildly creative cereal milk ice cream creations and voted Rhode Island’s Best Ice Cream two years in a row, Tizzy K’s has built a loyal following across the state. Now, East Providence residents will finally have a convenient new location just minutes away to experience the shop’s signature handcrafted flavors, loaded specialty creations, and nostalgic cereal-inspired treats.
The new storefront places Tizzy K’s directly in one of the area’s busiest retail corridors, sharing a plaza with CVS Pharmacy and Chelo’s Hometown Bar & Grille while sitting just moments away from popular stops like Jersey Mike’s Subs, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Wingstop. Its central location and ample parking are expected to make it a convenient dessert destination for visitors from Rumford, East Providence, Pawtucket, Seekonk, Rehoboth, and South Attleboro.
Co-Owner and President Tess Sullivan shared her excitement about the opening, saying the team has worked hard to bring the new location to life and cannot wait for customers to experience the new space firsthand.
CEO and Co-Owner Kelly Ireland added that the Rumford expansion opens the door to an entirely new customer base and has the potential to become a go-to ice cream destination for thousands of local residents.
For East Providence area families, this addition is especially exciting as Newport Avenue continues to grow into one of the region’s busiest dining and shopping destinations. Whether stopping by after dinner, grabbing dessert after errands, or making a special late-night ice cream run, Tizzy K’s is positioning itself to become one of the summer’s hottest new local spots.
EastProv Hospitality will continue to follow the progress of the opening and will share updates including opening day details, interior photos, menu highlights, and hiring announcements as they become available.
