Rhea’s Ice Cream To Close Permanently

By: Alexa Tavarez
San Marcos residents will have one fewer ice cream shop to suppress their sugar cravings starting this June.
Rhea Ortamond, owner of Rhea’s Ice Cream, announced April 1 on the business’ Facebook page she is planning to close the shop in pursuit of an endeavor in Chicago. Ortamond wrote the store will remain open until June 28.
 
“We still have three more months together, though,” Ortamond said in the post. “That’s plenty of time to eat yourself into a sugar coma.”
 
Ortamond opened Rhea’s Ice Cream in 2010 and has since pleased San Marcos residents with homemade offerings. Rhea’s is known for its novelty flavors.
 
Ortamond thanked her customers for the support they have shown since she opened the shop on North LBJ Drive.
 
“This is one of the hardest decisions I have ever made,” Ortamond said. “Your unbelievable support has turned this girl’s dream into a reality.”
 
Ortamond will be out of town until Tuesday and could not be reached for comment.
