Shep's Scoops dishes out quality food

Editor's note: This holiday season, in support of local small businesses, the Huron County Growth Partnership featured several businesses. This is one of several businesses the agency recently highlighted. GREENWICH — When Meagan and Kurt Shepherd opened Shep's Scoops in 2024, it came full circle for them. Meagan had worked there as a teenager back when it was called Green Witch Suds and Sundaes. And, now, she and Kurt are raising their own young family in the same small town where they both grew up. Owning Shep's Scoops, at 13 E. Main St. in Greenwich, has been a dream come true for the couple. With Kurt working full-time as an electrical engineer and Meagan previously in health care, they wanted more flexibility and a chance to build something that belonged to their family and community. From their cozy 300-square-foot shop, Shep's Scoops serves up favorites, like its: • Signature orange sherbet soft serve • Creative flurries packed with cheesecake bites or Fruity Pebbles • Hearty basket meals that rival any diner But what truly sets Shep's Scoops apart is its hometown warmth. It's the kind of place where everyone's greeted by name, kids race up after Little League games, and families drop by just to catch up. The Shepherds pour that same care into the community beyond their counter, donating to school programs, the athletic boosters and local fundraisers, and Kurt serves as a volunteer firefighter. "It's amazing that this business not only supports our family but lets us give back and make a difference in our community," Meagan said. While Shep's Scoops is closed for the season, Meagan said their gratitude is overflowing. "Our doors may be closed for the season, but our hearts are open and thankful. (This holiday season), we're celebrating all the hardworking small businesses that make Greenwich a special place. Be sure to stop by your local favorites today.
