Sweet Claude's set to open in Ball & Socket complex as project takes shape

Sweet Claude’s ice cream shop could be up and running in its new location as soon as this weekend, making it the first tenant to open in the Ball & Socket Arts complex in Cheshire.

The opening of Sweet Claude’s and the ongoing revitalization of the former button factory site along West Main Street has been a group effort, led by the non-profit Ball & Socket Arts with the help of local officials and state funding. 

Sweet Claude’s owner Kelly Anne Pearce said her ice cream shop has all its permits and approvals in place to begin operating, hopefully by Aug. 12.
