The iconic Mister Softee jingle is no longer just for the streets—Long Island now has its first-ever Mister Softee brick-and-mortar ice cream shop!

FOX 5's Jodi Goldberg has the story.
LONG ISLAND - Trading its truck for a standalone storefront.
The famous Mister Softee ice cream company has opened its first ever brick-and-mortar shop on Long Island.
What we know:
The storefront, the first of its kind in New York, is located in East Islip.
The location has pistachio and strawberry flavors that are not available on the trucks. In addition, they have scooped ice cream, as well as bubble waffle cones.
The new owner has been dishing up ice cream from his Mister Softee trucks for nearly two decades.
While he still has four trucks on Long Island, he says there are key differences from being on the move to being on the go: his new storefront allows him to sell ice cream year-round.
What they're saying:
"Everybody love Mister Softee, you know," the store's owner said. "Everybody has a memory for Mister Softee."
