A family-owned business, Happy Scoops Ice Cream Parlor , opened this month in Central with a 1950s checkered floor, a penguin mascot and board games.

Angie Hector co-owns and manages the business located on Hooper Road with her husband, son and daughter-in-law, and they have a mission to open a hangout spot fit for the whole family.

There are no televisions or public Wi-Fi in the shop, so Hector hopes the unplugged environment gives families a chance for quality time. A wide variety of games are available to play including checkers, Yahtzee, Candyland, Scrabble and cards.

The parlor is open until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays,
