Amy's Ice Cream on South Congress to close soon due to steep rent spike
By SARAH LOPEZ

Amy’s Ice Cream on South
Congress is slated to close by
Oct. 25 due to an unforeseen
hike in rent prices.
The iconic Austin based
creamery according to a Face-
book posted on Friday will
shut down after rent prices
doubled, leaving St. Edward’s
University students with one
less option for their late night
snack fixes.
Aaron Clay marketing di-
rector for Amy’s Ice Creams,
is a St. Edward’s alumnus.
“[The owners are] a real
estate group based in Cali-
fornia. They’ve never been
to Austin nor do they know
how the market or commu-
nity works,” Clay said.
The Super South location
had a “Hilltopper combo”
consisting of Mexican vanilla
ice cream, cookie dough, Re-
ese’s peanut butter cups and
hot fudge on top. The compa-
ny hopes to move this combo
to the South Lamar location
so that SEU students can still
enjoy it.
“This location was nice be-
cause there was less tourist
traffic than most other stores
as well as less of an emphasis
on longhorns,” said Clay.
Amy’s is not the first or only
business to experience this
abrupt change. South Con-
gress businesses have seen
many changes throughout
the years, some more benefi-
cial than others.
One such business, Ben
White Florist, opened about
15 years ago, and it doesn’t
seem to be slowing down
anytime soon.

worked there for the past
