Construction is nearly complete on the new Wally's Frozen Custard and Coffee Station on Harper in St. Clair Shores and the owners are planning a grand opening celebration during the weekend of Oct. 27-28.

The owners of Wally's Frozen Custard, the iconic, east side frozen custard shop, will close Sunday in preparation to move their business to St. Clair Shores. The estimated opening date for the new location is Oct. 6.
The owners of Wally's Frozen Custard will soon be closing the iconic, yellow building in Harper Woods in preparation to move the business to St. Clair Shores. For more than 60 years, generations of families in St. Clair Shores and the Grosse Pointes have visited the shop for frozen treats. But come Sunday, it will be the final day to get a twist or Boston cooler at the current location. After the final cone is served, owners Matt and Eliza Ahearn will begin to move their frozen custard machines and other equipment north on Harper to their new location in St. Clair Shores. "I have been going there since I was a kid," said a sentimental Matt Ahearn, who is looking forward to the new location. "We will have more space to serve everybody." The…

Construction started Tuesday on the new home of Wally's Frozen Custard on Harper, south of Nine Mile Road, in St. Clair Shores.
Construction crews began excavating and preparing a vacant parcel at Harper and Elizabeth Tuesday for the new Wally's Frozen Custard. Owner Matt Ahearn expects construction of the new frozen custard shop to take about three months. Once complete, the current location in Harper Woods will close and one week later the new building will open. Ahearn said the new building will offer a greater number of parking spots than the current location in Harper Woods. Additionally, the 2,600-square-foot brick building will have a drive-thru window for frozen treats and items from an expanded menu including coffee, tea, hot chocolate, bagels and other items they featured at The Galley Cafe, which they formerly operated at the St. Clair Shores Library. …

The iconic frozen custard shop will be moving into a new building in St. Clair Shores later this year.
Wally's Frozen Custard will have a new home soon at a vacant parcel at Elizabeth and Harper in St. Clair Shores. Wally's bright yellow building has beckoned families, sports teams and those seeking a frozen treat to the custard shop on Harper, in Harper Woods, since 1947. St. Clair Shores residents Matt and Eliza Ahearn have owned Wally's for the past nine years and have expanded offerings to include custard pies and catering. This has caused their business to outgrow its current location and look for a new home. After an extensive search, the couple decided to build a new Wally's in their hometown. "It is a real hard decision to make," said Matt Ahearn, a former St. Clair Shores city councilman, of the difficult decision to move. "We …
