Bop’s Frozen Custard traces its roots to 2004, when founder Jimmy Eckford, inspired by his discovery of frozen custard while living in Tulsa, OK, opened his first store in Jackson, MS. Drawing on decades of experience in the dairy industry, he created a business centered on craftsmanship and community. The brand expanded through franchising, and one of its earliest fans, Rebecca Fayard, later became a franchisee after being introduced to the shop during her time at Mississippi College in Clinton. The shop’s enduring appeal lies in its handmade custard, prepared fresh daily, and its nostalgic, family-friendly charm. The team, known as "Treatologists," continues to innovate while honoring the tradition of old-fashioned ice cream.

Located on US-80, Bop’s Frozen Custard sits about a quarter-mile from the Gore Arts Complex and Mount Salus Christian Day School, both within a half-mile radius. It is also near Clinton Parkway and Springridge Road, with The Quad and Lions Club Park just a short walk away, making it a convenient stop for families and students.

The shop is recognized for its clean, well-structured website and thorough online presence, with detailed information about its products, allergens, menu, and franchising opportunities. This transparency and consistency reinforce its reputation as a trusted, locally rooted business with a strong commitment to quality and customer experience.

Bop’s Frozen Custard stands as a beloved local institution in Clinton, where a tradition of handcrafted frozen custard continues to bring people together, one sweet treat at a time.
