Emack & Bolio's Ice Cream Expeience Opens on South Grand!

Emack and Bolio's continues to honor the traditions of great music, fantastic ice cream, and socially conscious business. Not a franchise, independent shop owners have an agreement with the famous Boston-based ice-creamery to buy and sell their products. Look for Emack and Bolio located at 3101 South Grand Boulevard.

You might be wondering how Emack and Bolio originated....“Emack and Bolio’s was born in Boston 1975. Peace, love, rock 'n roll. Along came these hippie lawyers working pro bono for the homeless, for gay civil rights, for anti-war demonstrators, and of course representing all these famous rock 'n rollers who were being signed by major record labels. They rented a basement in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline, bought a commercial ice cream machine, and invited their rock star friends to hang out after their gigs eating homemade ice cream. The rock 'n rollers loved the ice cream and the vibe. The basement ice cream hangout needed a name. Two homeless gentlemen that the lawyers did pro bono work for asked that the ice cream shop be named after them. The name had good karma: Emack & Bolio’s. An ice cream legend was born.”
