In celebration of National Ice Cream Day on July 19th, McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport has partnered with The Praguery to offer a special decadent serve in support of the BC SPCA.
Dig into a delicious chimney cake filled with soft serve and topped with a “paw-some” cookie. $5 from every cone will go directly to the BC SPCA to support their Champions for Animals Initiative that works to protect and enhance the quality of life for animals in BC.
The Praguery will also be offering dog treats for any furry friends coming into the dog friendly centre.
The Praguery Food Truck serves hand crafted ice cream in freshly baked pastry cones called chimney cakes. Their fillings are house-made, with toppings and dough made from scratch every day with all-natural ingredients. They offer vegan options for ice cream and chimney cakes.
A fun and tasty experience for shoppers and their dogs and the perfect start or end to a day of shopping at the centre. McArthurGlen has also recently opened its Food Folk Eatery, a casual hub that houses Chachi’s, Dirtbelly, and Hula Poké.
