As tourists return to Duluth's Canal Park, food trucks, scoop shops follow Love Creamery is one of a few food purveyors expanding or opening this summer in the waterfront district whose businesses, like most, struggled to stay afloat. June 29, 2021 — 7:48pm Text size Copy shortlink: DULUTH – At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, customers would come to Lincoln Park's Love Creamery to buy 10 ice cream pints at a time. They wanted to ensure the three-year-old shop survived, said owner Nicole Wilde, and survive it did. A second location opened in Duluth's Canal Park last week. Love Creamery is one of a few food purveyors expanding or opening this summer in the waterfront district whose businesses, like most, struggled to stay afloat while customers stayed home during the COVID-19 outbreak. Beloved by tourists for its shopping, dining and iconic Aerial Lift Bridge, Canal Park now flaunts a new $16 million section of the Lakewalk and crowds have returned. Joining Love Creamery, two food trucks from New Scenic Cafe and a beverage trailer open this week in Canal Park. A taco restaurant, Chachos Taqueria, is expected to open Aug. 1.
