A great escape
“I want people to have a stress-free place to go to and enjoy life. Ice cream is a great escape.”
The founder
Lawrence W. Jackson
Pastor of Greater Grace Missionary Baptist Church in Center Point, host of the daily Unbothered podcast — and the man who spent six months turning an old tire shop into a bright, welcoming escape.
“Unbothered does not suggest we're free of problems. It suggests how we handle our problems. We're unfazed, so we're not paralyzed by the issues that we face.”
“Between pastoring and opening this ice cream shop and everything else I do, I try to better the lives of people around me. I use everything for empowerment to build people up.”
What we're actually about
Ice cream is the excuse.
Ice cream is the excuse.
Peace is the point.
Built for families
“I don't know if I love ice cream as much as I love family. I love community. I love to see families get together and have a great time.”
The motivation station
Two big whiteboards and a bucket of markers by the door. Guests leave encouragement for people they'll never meet. It fills up fast.
The timeline
From tire shop to
From tire shop to
somewhere to breathe.
The idea
A pastor looks at his community and realizes families have to drive for miles just to get ice cream together.
Six months
An empty former tire shop is gutted and rebuilt by hand into a bright, colorful escape.
