The operators of a Mechanicsville coffee shop have something sweet in store a couple doors down.

Brothers Micah and Jett Odle are opening Graham’s Ice Cream at 7038 Mechanicsville Turnpike, near Mechanicsville High School, in late July.

It will be two storefronts over from their Little Bean Coffee Co., which they opened in 2019 after selling coffee out of a cart for a year at Bon Secours’ Memorial Regional Medical Center.

“It makes sense for the business. They’re complementary but not necessarily overlapping,” said Jett Odle. “We can serve a new product to an entirely new set of customers.”

Using ice cream made by Franklin County-based Homestead Creamery, Graham’s will focus on sundaes and will sell ice cream in cones and bowls as well as milkshakes, some of which will be new takes on drinks at Little Bean.
