Sweet Jesus is coming to the Mall of America in Bloomington.
That is, the Canadian ice cream chain bearing that name. The 790-square-foot shop will debut on level 3 this winter.
Known for its extravagantly decorated soft serve cones, Sweet Jesus plans to offer 10-plus creations at the MOA, including the Bangin' Brownie, made with chocolate soft serve, caramel, chocolate sauce, brownie bits and a chocolate cookie crumble.
The company's Instagram account shows past soft serve flavors including the Cherry Bomb — a cone that incorporates cream cheese frosting, cherry pie filling and pie crust, and a wacky Krusty the Kone invention sporting cotton candy "hair."
Sweet Jesus also serves hot and cold dessert beverages, such as a burnt marshmallow latte.
The name reportedly isn't meant to be religious, but an expression of excitement.
The chain has several locations in Toronto and elsewhere in Ontario. It's in the process of major expansion.
According to Retail Insider, an online retail magazine in Canada, Sweet Jesus has been awarded new franchises in Canada, the United States, Dubai, India and Bangladesh, and plans to open 20 to 25 new stores in the next 12 to 18 months.
