The ultimate dessert experience is now available to you at Fantasticks Gelato Bar.

The Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce (GGCC) conducted a ribbon cutting ceremony and joined Fantasticks Gelato Bar to celebrate its grand opening on May 21. It is located at 215 Boardwalk Place in Gaithersburg.

This was one of our sweetest ribbon cuttings,” said Marilyn Balcombe, GGCC president. “Fantasticks is a great addition to the neighborhood. We commend them for their perseverance through a very difficult time and so glad they are finally open.”

Creamy, cool deliciousness awaits you right here in Gaithersburg. Gelato is lighter than ice cream because it uses milk instead of cream. Batches are homemade every day and flavors are inspired by the owner’s world travels. Fantasticks Gelato Bar has artisan custom pops and gelato; learn more at www.fantasticksgelato.com.

The GGCC is active in providing business-to-business networking opportunities throughout the year: a collective voice in local, regional, and state legislative affairs, professional development opportunities and other services that enhance the business environment.
