Big Spoon Creamery will open a shop in the Edgewood neighborhood of Homewood in late 2018 or early 2019, the owners announced.

The new location will be in the space formerly occupied by Sprout and Pour at 927 Oxmoor Road, which closed on Friday. Sprout and Pour is moving to Founders Station downtown, according to the shop's Facebook page.

Construction on the new Big Spoon Creamery is set to start early this month.

"Since starting Big Spoon in 2014, we've always known we wanted to have a location in Homewood," said Ryan O'Hara, owner/founder. "We're thrilled to be joining a stellar lineup of great restaurants in the Edgewood area and can't wait to serve this vibrant community from our new location."

Husband and wife Ryan and Geri-Martha O'Hara started selling their craft ice cream at a pop-up event in the driveway of their house in Bluff Park in the summer of 2014, and their business has steadily grown to include first a cart, then a food truck, and a brick-and-mortar shop in Avondale last year. They've also opened a shop in Cullman.

Big Spoon Creamery focuses on creating a seasonal menu using high quality local and seasonal ingredients. Offerings include a dozen seasonal ice cream flavors, housemade waffle cones, milkshakes/malts, specialty sundaes, and their signature "sammies" (ice cream sandwiches).

Big Spoon Creamery features a limited number of flavors each month. Click here for more information.
