Vic's Ice Cream in Sacramento's Land Park is set to reopen on Saturday after a change in ownership and extensive renovations. The beloved ice cream and sandwich shop, founded in 1947, closed following the passing of owner Craig Rutledge in March. Co-founded by Rutledge's father, Ash, and his friend, Vic Zito, the shop has a rich history. It was recently sold to a new generation of Sacramento locals, who grew up visiting the shop and are dedicated to preserving its legacy. The new owners have shared renovation updates on social media, revealing plans to modernize electrical and plumbing systems while maintaining the shop's iconic aesthetic, including the checkerboard floor, classic soda fountain counter, and stools. Vic's Ice Cream is committed to keeping the same ice cream recipes, along with their famous red sauce and lime rickeys, ensuring that the beloved flavors remain unchanged. The shop's reopening promises a return to the classic Vic's experience, offering a delightful treat for long-time customers and new visitors alike.
