LIVERMORE, CA — A popular ice cream shop has suddenly shuttered in Livermore. The Livermore Ice Cream Shop, which was originally named CREAM (Cookies Rule Everything Around Me), abruptly closed after three years in downtown Livermore, according to a letter from the store.

On May 8, the shop owner posted the letter addressed to its customers on the front door of the shop explaining the closure and thanking the patrons. The shop owner has not been reached for additional comment.

The gourmet ice cream sandwich shop, which was owned by franchisee Peter Michno, sold ice cream, cookies, floats, malts and shakes. The Livermore Ice Cream Store was located at 2375 Railroad Ave. in the Livermore Valley Plaza.
