An’s Dry Cleaning Does It Again: Secures Award for Best Ice Cream Shop in America by USA Today
Celebrating the Win with $1 gelato on July 1st + Grand Opening of Latest Location Featuring New Menu and Unique Flavors
San Diego, CA (June 18, 2025) — An’s Dry Cleaning, which includes the locations An’s Electronics Repair, An’s Hatmakers, and An’s Athletic Field Services, proudly announces that it has once again secured the prestigious Reader’s Choice Award for "Best Ice Cream Shop in America" by USA Today’s esteemed 10Best. Known for its creative branding, industry leading customer service, and unparalleled gelato, An’s has become a must-stop destination for San Diego locals and tourists alike.
To commemorate this incredible recognition, An’s is thrilled to invite the community to the Official Grand Opening and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony of their newest location, An’s Electronics Repair.
Details for the event are as follows:
Date: Saturday, June 21st
Time: 11:30 a.m.
Location: 1861 Bacon Street, San Diego, CA 92107
Special Guest: Mike Akey, Vice President of the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA), will perform the ceremonial ribbon cutting.
An’s is set to unveil exclusive new flavors: "Full Grain Leather" and "Metal Detector." Full Grain Leather is a remix of an An’s classic, adding a from-scratch brookie to the bestselling, brown butter gelato. Metal Detector uses a never before seen (at An’s) golden cocoa to make a unique, golden chocolate gelato with intense notes of caramel, toffee, butter, and cream.
To further celebrate the grand opening, An’s will give away limited-edition commemorative T-shirts (free for the first 25 guests), stickers (free for the first 250 guests), and gelato (free for the first 25 guests) as a special thank you to the community for their ongoing support and enthusiasm.
We’re incredibly grateful to once again be recognized as America’s Best Ice Cream Shop by USA Today’s readers,” said Travis Bailey, Co-Founder of An’s Gelato. “We literally could not win this award without all the support of our customers who cast all the votes. Earning this title again inspires us to keep raising the bar—whether that means continuing to create new flavors or finding ways to continue to improve the service experience for every customer. Our team is dedicated to innovation and exceptional service, and we intend to keep challenging ourselves to deliver unique, memorable experiences for everyone who walks through our doors.
USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards nominees are carefully curated by a panel of subject matter experts and editors before being voted on by the public. An’s proudly thanks its dedicated fans, whose participation has brought home this coveted award again.
Come celebrate with us at An’s Electronics Repair on June 21st—just don’t bring your glitchy laptop.
