Milk Jawn just recently opened its second brick-and-mortar shop in Northern Liberties to join its first one in East Passyunk.

This represents the latest chapter for owners Amy Wilson and Ryan Miller, writes Chloe Pantazi-Wolber for Philadelphia Magazine.

Milk Jawn got its start after Wilson began making ice cream as a hobby in her home kitchen. Miller had been friends with Wilson for over 20 years and after trying her ice cream, they became business partners.

They started planning the business in 2019, then the pandemic provided more time for Wilson and Miller to ramp things up, work on recipes, and deliver ice cream to people in their houses.

“When we started, we had no expectations. We just wanted to test things out and see what was going to happen and if this whole ice cream adventure was going to work,” said Wilson.

The next goal became opening a storefront, which they did in East Passyunk in 2021.

They chose Northern Liberties for the second location because of the lack of ice cream shops in the neighborhood and it is a “walkable neighborhood full of families.”

What does the future hold?

“Maybe the next step would be adding a truck or something like that,” Wilson said.
