Community Spotlight: Lickety Splits

Lickety Splits has been a hometown favorite in Richmond for generations, serving up sweet memories and family traditions since 1998. Located at 39 Kingstown Road, this beloved local ice cream stop has long been known as the kind of place where families, friends, and neighbors gather for a treat and a little taste of summer. 

Now, the story is continuing in a new way. In 2024, the shop was passed on to members of the family, JJ and Allison Glaude, keeping the Lickety Splits name alive while ushering in its next chapter. More recently, the same ownership team also took over neighboring Higher Grounds Community Coffeehouse, expanding their footprint right next door and strengthening what has already become a true local gathering place in Richmond.

What makes Lickety Splits special is not just the ice cream. It is the feeling of walking into a place that is woven into the community. Nearly 30 years in, it still feels personal, family-run, and full of hometown charm. With Higher Grounds now part of the same family, this corner of Richmond is becoming even more of a destination for coffee, ice cream, and connection.
