Plainfield has a new place to grab a scoop. Graeter's Ice Cream opened a location in town, and the occasion was marked with an official ribbon cutting.
Graeter's announced the opening in a Facebook post Wednesday. The opening was marked with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the company's team.
Graeter's traces its roots back to 1870, when the Graeter family founded the ice cream chain in Cincinnati, according to youarecurrent.com. A separate report from larryinfishers.com described the business as a fourth-generation, family-owned operation still headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Part of a Bigger Central Indiana Push
The Plainfield shop fits into a broader expansion Graeter's has been making across central Indiana this year. A June report from youarecurrent.com noted that Zionsville was the third Graeter's shop to open in the region in 2026, following new locations in Westfield and Fishers on Lantern Road, and that another shop was expected to open in Plainfield that fall. That Zionsville location held its own grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 3, per the same report.
Fishers saw a similar celebration earlier in the year. Members of the Graeter family were on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony when the company opened its second Fishers location at 8699 East 106th Street, the Fishers outlet reported. That site was chosen in part for its proximity to the Fishers Event Center along with nearby commercial activity and residential neighborhoods, according to the report.
Finding the New Scoop Shop
A local business directory, MapQuest, lists the Plainfield Graeter's at 788 Dan Jones Road, Suite 111. The exact date the shop began serving customers to the public has not been independently confirmed beyond the Town's announcement of the opening and ribbon cutting.
