UFO “Crash Landing” Appears at West Palm Beach Carvel for Flying Saucer’s 75th Anniversary

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Carvel’s iconic Flying Saucer — and to help kick off Spring and the start of ice cream season — the brand is staging a playful UFO-style “crash landing” outside the Palm Beach Carvel shoppe, featuring a giant Flying Saucer installation.

A historic Carvel landmark that still uses original soft serve machines, this location has been owned by Gina Scoppa for a decade, following in the footsteps of her parents who purchased the shoppe in 1973. Tom Carvel himself used this very location for product testing during his winters in Florida.

The activation also kicks off a nationwide celebration that includes:
– Flying Saucers will be just 75¢ on March 20 at participating Carvel shoppes nationwide
– The first 50 guests at the crash site will receive commemorative Flying Saucer merchandise
