Sweet Republic bringing its award-winning ice cream to Tempe

Sweet Republic, the award-winning artisan ice cream shop, will open its third location at The Watermark on the north side of Tempe Town Lake.

The $150 million mixed-use development is located near the southwest corner of Scottsdale and the 202.

Helen Yung and Jan Wichayanuparp launched Sweet Republic near the 101 and Shea in Scottsdale in 2008, offering a rotating selection of 20-plus handcrafted flavors every day.

Their ice cream has won numerous awards and been featured everywhere from USA Today to Food & Wine magazine to TV’s Food Network.

A second location opened in Phoenix in 2014. The Tempe location is scheduled to open by the end of this month.
