– After five years of serving ice cream and creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities, Howdy Homemade Ice Cream Katy is preparing to close its doors.
Before saying goodbye, the Katy shop is inviting the community to a farewell and fifth anniversary celebration on Wednesday, July 22. The event will recognize the shop’s impact in the Katy area while celebrating Houston culture and raising awareness about autism, special needs and disabilities. Howdy Homemade Ice Cream has built its mission around employing people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, providing meaningful job opportunities in an inclusive workplace.
The Katy location opened in 2021 with support from Houston rapper Trae Tha Truth and has since become known for its community involvement and its “Howdy Heroes” employees. As part of the celebration, Houston rapper Quiet Money Dot will debut his signature ice cream flavor, “Million Dollar Swirl,” a chocolate-and-vanilla swirl featuring brownie bites.
The business recently announced it will permanently close at the end of July, making the anniversary celebration both a milestone and a farewell to the customers and community members who have supported the shop over the past five years.
