EAST BRUNSWICK – Excitement is brewing in East Brunswick as Scoop To My Lou ice cream shop gears up to celebrate Stanley Name Day with a one-of-a-kind event. On Thursday, in honor of the iconic Stanley cup, the shop will host its inaugural Stuff Your Stanley Day.
From noon to 9 p.m., patrons are invited to bring their clean, empty Stanley Cup or any other tumbler brand and indulge in four scoops of ice cream for just $10. This exclusive promotion is limited to one tumbler per person, ensuring everyone can partake in the fun.
Contrary to popular belief, participation is not reserved solely for the 833,000 Americans named Stanley. According to Lou Falzarano, owner of Scoop To My Lou, the event serves as a playful kickoff to the season while capitalizing on the widespread enthusiasm surrounding the Stanley cup craze.
For over a century, Stanley has been synonymous with high-quality insulated beverage tumblers, initially catering to working-class men. However, recent adaptations, including new sizes and colors, have broadened the brand’s appeal, particularly among women.
The allure of the Stanley cup extends beyond its functionality, with enthusiasts showcasing their prized possessions in online communities and eagerly queuing for hours, even overnight, to secure coveted editions. Some are willing to shell out significant sums on resale platforms for the latest “must-have” or limited-edition releases.
As Thursday approaches, anticipation builds in East Brunswick, where residents eagerly anticipate the chance to stuff their Stanley cups with delectable ice cream treats at Scoop To My Lou.
