Job description

We started Van Leeuwen Ice Cream in a yellow truck on the streets of NYC in 2008 with a mission to make good ice cream that makes you feel good.

Nowadays, people can spend so much time on what’s “healthy” they don’t stop to consider what’s healthy. As far as we’re concerned, happiness is healthiness. We strive to ensure every scoop, store and employee feels and creates one community to contribute to the overall brand.

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is hiring part‑time Scoopers to join our Fishtown ice cream shop in Philadelphia, PA.

Our Scoopers are the ultimate Van Leeuwen ambassadors, bringing our high standards and hospitality to life in every guest interaction. We’re looking for self‑starters who thrive independently and as part of a team in a fast‑paced, high‑energy environment.

Part‑time Scoopers at Van Leeuwen’s scoop shops make $13.00 per hour plus an average of an additional $10 per hour in tips. Tips are based on averages and subject to seasonal fluctuation. Our team members must have availability to work at least three shifts per week and be available to work past 12 am.
