Higgins Store, now under new ownership, has reopened and is seen as a much-needed addition to Alden. Located in the heart of the town, it features a neat layout with an attached ice cream stand. While some customers miss the previous charm, many appreciate the fantastic ice cream, noting its intense flavors and lower prices compared to other local shops. Although there are fewer flavors available and no "mixer" machine for blended treats, the store offers a selection of scoops, malts, and shakes. Outdoor seating is available, making it a cozy spot for customers to enjoy their treats. Overall, Higgins Store aims to regain its great reputation in the community.
New owners. So happy to see it back up and running again. Alden needed this store back in business. Hope that after a few years they can get the great reputation that it should have.

Nice little store with a little of everything. The ice-cream is great and then take a little stroll around Alden.
