Both Logan and Chelsea came from families of entrepreneurs and spent their early years working for their parents. Logan as an electrician, and Chelsea at her parents convenience store.
The Yard Milkshake Bar was a dream come true
In 2011 Chelsea and her mother started their first ice cream shop, Island Ice Cream, that is still owned by Chelsea today. After years of working with ice cream and desserts they decided to open a second ice cream shop in 2017.

Chelsea knew she wanted it to be like no other dessert place she had ever been to and decided that crazy specialty milkshakes is just what they were looking for. When brainstorming name ideas one night in their living room “The Yard” was born. They opened in May of 2017 and were blown away with the positive reaction of the community and tourist alike in their home town of Gulf Shores, AL. They have now expanded to Panama City Beach, FL, Fairhope, AL, Austin, TX. There is also two new Franchise locations in D’Iberville, MS and Hattiesburg, MS.
The Tampa location is set to have its own special Key Lime Pie flavor.
