The Cone Barn

The Cone Barn is an outdoor ice cream shop located in Sunnyvale, Texas, and is a notorious hotspot among the residents of the town, especially students. It was established in 1962. It is heavily based upon an ice cream stand of the same name located in Roxana, Illinois. It opens in April and closes in October.

Richard and Scott frequented the Cone Barn nearly every Friday, with Richard getting strawberry ice cream and Scott getting rocky road. The two became friends with the employees working there, particularly an older man named Frank Calabasas, who often gave them their ice cream for free if they showed him good grades on tests or homework.
