Mister Softee fans in and around Miller Place will no longer need to wait until the weather gets warm to enjoy their favorite frozen treats.
The soft ice cream icon this spring will open its third-ever Suffolk brick-and-mortar store right in the heart of Miller Place, inside the Aliano Shopping Center.
For the last seven years, owner Steven Zoly has run Mister Softee ice cream trucks that operate across Mount Sinai, Miller Place, Sound Beach, Port Jefferson Station, Coram, Rocky Point and Calverton.
For the new shop, Zoly has partnered with Joseph Glendenning, owner of JC Discount Fuel, where Zoly worked delivering oil for five years.
“I’ve known him for 20-plus years, since his son is my best friend,” Zoly said. “Partnering up with him really felt like going into business with family!”
The new location will open next door to a coming-soon Jimmy John’s sandwich shop. Zoly told Greater Long Island he is targeting May or June opening.

The county’s first standalone Mister Softee opened in East Islip in March. The second debuted in September in Center Moriches.
The Aliano Shopping Center is located at 691 Route 25A.
