Mayday!! Mayday!! Mayday Ice Cream Coming To Nocatee
July 28, 2023

What do ice cream and refinancing into a low rate have in common?
They're both verrry cool and Mayday, the popular Florida-based ice cream chain, is opening a new location in the heart of Nocatee town center.
What better way to spend a hot afternoon or evening in Florida than eating ice cream! For Nocatee residents, a new ice cream parlor that is already well-known in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and the rest of Florida, is coming to town center. And for us Nocatee locals, there’s nothing better than a cool treat and letting the kids play at The Link while the parents relax at Timoti's or Treylor Park.
Rumored to be the kind of ice cream that Forest Gump offered Lieutenant Dan when they were rehabbing battle wounds, Mayday, the popular ice cream shop honoring the flyboys who flew bombers in World War II is opening a location in Nocatee town center in a few months. This friendly ice cream shop was started in Florida and has grown to 13 locations, 12 in Florida and one in Jackson, Mississippi. The new shop will open in between Dick’s Wings and Luxury Nail Spa right next to Publix, and is certain to have a line when open as Mayday’s reputation for great frozen treats precedes itself.
As soon as you walk into a Maydays, you know instantly where you are. The sweet smell of waffle cones baking and ice cream instantly fill your senses. The staff at Maydays is always warm and welcoming, greeting everyone with a smile and eager to serve and delight customers. The price point for a cup, cone or sundae is very reasonable; and the reason Maydays has such as great reputation is because of how great their ice cream tastes! Many families, including our own, parents and children, are big fans of Mayday and frequent the place a lot.
A Family Friendly Environment
The Nocatee community is made up of a lot of families. From the many parks, pools, baseball, football, lacrosse, and soccer fields to choose from, there's also many other activities to engage in like dance and ballet. The Link has blocks for kids to play on, and Timoti's Seafood Shack has an outdoor old wooden ship and picnic tables for families to enjoy.
Mayday will be a welcome addition to Ben & Jerry’s, which tastes the same as the cartons you can easily get at Publix on the ice cream aisle. With a passionate focus on the best-tasting, handcrafted ice cream made right in Florida, along with homemade waffle cones and homemade sprinkles to top it off with, Mayday’s welcoming little shops are ideal for those who simply want to enjoy some ice cream without the poorly maintained facilities, unfriendly staff and social controversy thrown in your face.
A company whose mission is quality, handcrafted ice cream that honors the bravery and heroism of the Greatest Generation will be warmly accepted in the Nocatee community. Some of the best childhood memories revolve around getting ice cream on a hot summer day or evening; or a treat for doing well in school, a game, or birthday. No matter who you are, Mayday has some ice cream you're going to absolutely love!

The Best Ice Cream Delivered To Your Home
Through it's third-party delivery services, Mayday also delivers from seven of their locations in case of an "ice cream emergencies", according to their website. This, along with Mayday's superior taste and quality, is a much-appreciated advantage over the competition; and will certainly be used by Nocatee residents when home delivery starts.
We are amateur ice cream experts: Since we live in Nocatee and have kids of all ages, we have taken them to Ben & Jerry’s and Mayday, everyone loves Mayday hands-down. The quality of Mayday’s ice cream is second to none and comes with an unbeatable wholesome experience the entire family can enjoy!
