Grab a Grabber

You don’t have to travel to Pullman to cool off with a Grabber ice cream sandwich.

The Washington State Connections store in downtown Spokane carries the popular frozen treat, handmade by student employees of Washington State University’s Ferdinand’s Ice Cream Shoppe in Pullman.

Grabbers cost $3.50 and have been in stock at the Spokane store for about a month. Available flavors in Spokane are: vanilla, chocolate-peanut butter and huckleberry.

The Spokane store is located at 618 W. Riverside Ave. Call (509) 309-2050.
