Angel McCoughtry's Sweet Venture: The Story Behind McCoughtry's Ice Cream​
​
In January 2017, Angel McCoughtry, a celebrated WNBA star and two-time Olympic gold medalist, expanded her entrepreneurial pursuits by opening McCoughtry's Ice Cream in Atlanta, Georgia. This venture allowed her to connect with the community beyond basketball, offering a variety of ice cream flavors, including vegan options, in a welcoming environment. The shop gained popularity for its unique offerings, such as the sweet potato waffle sundae with butter pecan ice cream. After closing the original location in January 2020, McCoughtry relaunched the ice cream venture in the summer of 2023 at the Riverside EpiCenter, aiming to bring joy and a sense of community to the area.
