Pickaway County – Get ready for a burst of sweetness as Strawser’s Ice Cream, Pop & Candy shop prepares to offering another location, offering a tantalizing array of treats to delight locals and visitors alike.
Set to open its second location on August 9, 2024, Strawser’s promises an unforgettable experience with its mouthwatering offerings, including hand-dipped Perry’s ice cream, ice cream floats, tacos, nachos, cotton candy burritos, ice cream pizzas, sandwiches with homemade cookies, shakes, banana splits, and much more. But it’s not just about the ice cream; the shop boasts over 180 types of bottled craft sodas and a selection of candy that spans generations, from nostalgic, favorites to the latest crazes.
Owner, Mike Strawser, shares the excitement, expressing, “We’re bringing the same kind of shop we have in Grove City down to Pickaway County. It’s a place for families and friends to come together, indulge in sweet treats, and create lasting memories.”
The decision to open in Circleville was a natural one for Strawser, who has a personal connection to the area, the second one came as a fluke when he found the place was up for lease and it just happened, “The location just makes sense with the Grove City store and the Circleville store this one is in between makes great business sense plus it offers more to Pickaway County it’s a win-win.”
You may have seen some of Strawsers work, being a longtime employee of Chase bank, Strawser was the artist that painted murals on the bank during Pumpkin Show year after year winning several times. Strawser told Sciotopost that he moved into the business in 2022 with the WTF (What the Float) ice cream truck and the Grove City location in 2021-2022 and quit his day job to pursue his dreams.

Collaboration is also on the agenda, with plans to partner with local businesses like Richie’s New York Corner Deli to offer unique experiences and treats. “We’ve made a lot of friends here, and we’re excited to collaborate with them and give back to the community,” Strawers adds.
The new location will open on August 9th at 11365 State Route 104 just outside of Commerical Point.
