La Michoacana Homemade Ice Cream and Snacks opened its doors Friday, June 27, 2025, with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by Historic Main Street Oxford.
The new store is located at 2024 U.S. Highway 78 East, Suite A. It features a diverse menu including ice cream, popsicles, fruity water, Mexican snacks, and Dubai strawberry chocolates, which are described as a perfect blend of rich chocolate, sweet strawberry, and pistachio cream that offers a delightful taste experience.
La Michoacana is owned and operated by Maria, Juan, and Martin Murillo, who thanked the city of Oxford for the opportunity and assistance in opening their new business.
“Since the ice cream store closed downtown, all the school kids have been asking for a new ice cream store. You can’t get enough ice cream,” said Mayor Alton Craft. “Thank you for coming to Oxford, and if the city can do anything for you, let us know.”
La Michoacana is open every day from 11 a.m. until 9:30 p.m., and can be contacted by phone at 256-403-2595 or through their Facebook page.
