One such noteworthy mention is the highly-anticipated reopening of Jumpin’ Jack’s, an iconic drive-in located in Scotia.

In addition to their traditional offerings, they have introduced gluten-free options for rolls, cones, and dairy-free brownies. However, it’s important to note that their cooking area is not entirely gluten-free. With operational hours from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., patrons have ample time to relish their favorite nostalgic treats.
