CANFIELD A business in Canfield is set to host an on-site hiring event for a new retail store location selling ice cream.

Cockeye Creamery announced that it will be opening a second location in Canfield, stepping onto the scene in Mahoning County.

“Our production arm has grown significantly in the last couple [of] years. So this retail store, which will be our second retail store here in Canfield, is just a further extension of the brand… and into another county,” said Max Hoover, Owner and Operator of Cockeye Creamery.

The ice cream brand has an additional location in Warren, which can be found at 1805 1/2 Parkman Road.

The new Canfield location can be found at 18 North Broad Street.

According to Hoover, the new store plans to open before the winter months, but an official opening date has not been released at this time.

“It has taken us some months, lots of planning and dreams, and we’re finally to the finish line – or very near the finish line – so we’re setting up a hiring event for Sunday,” said Hoover.

The on-site hiring event will take place on September 7 from noon to 4 p.m. Hoover shared with 21 News what kind of employee the business is looking for.

“We are looking for social, bubbly, driven individuals [who are] self-starting, problem-solving, critical thinking individuals,” said Hoover.

Hoover also said that the job opportunity could be a good fit for a high school student looking for a first-time job, or a seasoned food-service veteran looking to attach themselves to the Cockeye Creamery and barbecue group.
