Amy's Ice Creams

About this audio guide

This guide to Amy's Ice Creams in Austin follows a scoop shop founded on Guadalupe Street in nineteen eighty-four into an unlikely legal fight three decades later, when founder Amy Simmons and a much larger frozen-food company that also went by the name Amy's ended up on opposite sides of a federal trademark case. You'll hear what a cookie, a candy bar, and a first name had to do with it. Best heard while you wait in line at the walk-up window on Sixth Street.
