Melt Ice Creams will return to downtown Fort Worth in 2025, after closing a shop in the area earlier this year.

The artisan ice cream shop opened its first-ever location in 2014 in Fort Worth’s Near Southside. In the decade since, Melt has opened an additional location in Fort Worth, plus shops in Dallas and Willow Park.

Melt’s newest Fort Worth location will open in downtown early next year at 700 Main St.

Melt’s new shop will be just a few minutes from its previous Sundance Square location at 308 Houston St.

The Houston Street location closed in September 2024, after five years of operation. In the closing announcement, Melt hinted that another downtown location may be in the works.

“Though this location is closing, our other shops remain open and we’re excited to share upcoming developments in downtown Fort Worth,” Melt officials wrote in a Sept. 3 Facebook post.

Now nearly two months later, Melt is announcing its return to downtown Fort Worth.

“I am thrilled to bring Melt back to the downtown Fort Worth community!” Melt founder Kari Crowe-Seher said in a press release. “We’re super excited to be close to all of the action at the Fort Worth Convention Center and to be part of the downtown scene once again.”

MELT Ice Creams’ newest location is in the Mule Alley shops in the Stockyards.
