Ice cream brand that almost disappeared making comeback with unlikely partnership in Canada

You may have noticed an ice cream brand that once almost disappeared completely resurfacing in a new unexpected place.

Sweet Jesus is a soft serve ice cream brand that once had many locations in Ontario that have since closed down. However, now you can find them at a surprising new place: St. Louis Bar & Grill.

That’s right, you can now follow up your wings and ribs at St. Louis with treats from Sweet Jesus thanks to a new partnership between the two brands.

The partnership means that Sweet Jesus is back in a big new way, with frozen desserts from the brand now being featured at the 80-plus locations St. Louis operates across the country.

Sweet Jesus dessert options now on the St. Louis menu include ice cream sandwich “sliders,” cheesecake and ice cream pints in red velvet, birthday cake and brownie varieties.

St. Louis opened their first location in Toronto in 1992. Sweet Jesus still operates some standalone locations in Ontario on John Street and at the Eaton Centre in Toronto, as well as in Mississauga, Thornhill, Hamilton and Niagara Falls.

St. Louis first started serving the desserts from Sweet Jesus around mid-May.
