Good Life Delights Opens on Court Square

The Downtown Development Association of Lincolnton is pleased to announce that ice cream is available again in downtown Lincolnton. Good Life Delights Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt has opened in downtown Lincolnton.

Good Life Delights specializes in making people smile with a variety flavors of Pet ice cream and frozen yogurt. It is a small shop with only a few seats including a counter overlooking the sidewalk that provides an excellent spot to watch all the activity on the Square. There are also a few seats outside on the sidewalk.

Good Life Delights is owned by Mark Derr and has four employees including his twin sons Kyle and Cale. Each are managers of the scoop shop. They are all looking forward to getting involved in the Lincolnton community.

Derr owns the only bail bonds business downtown which is located next door. With Good Life Delights, he has found another business niche that was underserved in Lincolnton.

“There just wasn’t a place to get ice cream in downtown Lincolnton, said Derr. “I had heard that the ice cream shop across the square did a good business before it moved so I figured it was a good opportunity.”

“Downtown is an ideal location for the business with a lot of pedestrian traffic and one of Lincolnton’s busiest restaurants next door,” said Brad Guth, Business & Community Development Director for the City of Lincolnton. “There is easy access, easy parking and great visibility in the heart of Lincolnton.”

Based on the success of only a few days, Good Life Delights is already exploring expansion plans from adding packaged ice cream sales to a birthday room and even door to door delivery in downtown. Craving a milkshake but can’t get away from your desk? Good Life Delights Mobile comes to the rescue.

The Lincolnton Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Grand Opening for Good Life Delights Tuesday, September 15 at 10:30am. In the meantime stop by the shop and check it out for yourself.

For more information on Good Life Delights, contact them directly at 704-732-3543 or stop by the shop at 107 West Court Square from 11am to 9pm Monday through Saturday.

So glad to see an ice cream shop open in downtown again. We check it our Friday night after dinner at Court Street and before the Lincolnton Football game. I took my son and niece back tonight for a treat. It was nice to sit outside with a cone.
