Ex-Cardinal brings Creamistry to Park West

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

Creamistry, the liquid nitrogen sweet shop that creates custom frozen desserts, will celebrate its grand opening with a free small ice cream for each guest from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18.

Located at 1235 N. 98th Avenue in Park West, this is Creamistry’s first West Valley store.

Former Arizona Cardinal player Andre Wadsworth and real estate professional Ryan Zeleznak, who co-own and operate Arizona’s Creamistry locations, selected Park West to fill a void.

“With each new Creamistry we open, we look for a dynamic, highly populated and energetic location, which we’ve found in Park West,” Wadsworth said.

“We look forward to becoming a part of the West Valley community’s celebrations and everyday occasions for years to come.”

Creamistry uses high-quality premium ingredients with more than 20 flavors and a wide variety of topping options, including natural and organic selections such as nondairy water-based sorbet and gluten-free, eggfree vegan coconut and cashew.

Flavor choices include Cap’N Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, birthday cake, cookie batter, matcha green tea, Reese’s peanut butter, ruby cacao, taro and Nutella, as well as classics such as caramel, chocolate, Madagascar vanilla bean, mint, sea salt caramel and strawberry.

Toppings and upgrades include mini gummy bears; mini marshmallows; Heath bar; Reese’s peanut butter cups; freshly baked brownie bites; cookie dough bites; cheesecake bites; “unicorn dust”; fresh fruits and nuts; sauces such as caramel, chocolate fudge and strawberry sundae; and savory items like candied bacon, chamoy and Tajin. Signature creations, premium ice cream cakes and grab-and-go items round out the selections at Creamistry.

Strategically located in front of the open-air shopping center’s splash pad, the new Creamistry store offers guests the same fresh and innovative madeto-order liquid-nitrogen ice cream creations as the other Creamistry locations in the Valley, including those in North Scottsdale and Gilbert.

Creamistry Park West is open from noon to 9 p.m. daily. For more information, visit creamistry.com.

Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. The two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.
