This summer, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams is turning up the volume with their latest release, teaming up with the beloved band Goose for a limited-edition flavor: Goose Tracks.
Currently out on their summer festival tour, Goose is having a moment—and now they’re stepping into legendary territory with a signature ice cream flavor of their own. Goose Tracks is a reimagining of the classic black raspberry chip, made richer with juicier berries like red raspberries and blackberries, and layered with bittersweet chocolate flakes. It’s equal parts nostalgic and fresh—like hearing your favorite song come alive on stage for the very first time.
Starting June 24, fans in Charleston can find Goose Tracks in local Jeni’s scoop shops and online at jenis.com. This flavor marks the latest in Jeni’s lineup of creative collaborations and celebrates the joy of two universal languages: music and ice cream.
And the summer magic doesn’t stop there—Jeni’s has just kicked off the first half of its Super Fun Times flavor drop, a bold and vibrant lineup designed to capture that carefree, kid-in-a-candy-store energy. (Images here).
Think: ice creams that taste like burning your homework. Racing shopping carts through the grocery store parking lot. Nights that stretch just past curfew, and mornings that don’t start until noon. These flavors channel the thrill of the first day of summer—the kind of wide-eyed, pocket-full-of-quarters excitement that promises nothing but pure, unfiltered Super Fun Times. New flavors include:
Pink Bubblegum: Wonderfully juicy and intensely fruity. Tastes like the first (and best) 30 seconds of classic gum
Toasted S’mores: Toasty vanilla bean marshmallow ice cream with gooey milk chocolate and graham cracker cookies.
Root Beer Float: Root beer ice cream with marshmallows. Tastes like the creamy, refreshing, frothy foam atop a frosty mug of root beer.
The first half of Jeni’s Super Fun Times collection is available now in Jeni’s scoop shops across Charleston and at jenis.com. More whimsical flavors are on the way later this summer.

Following the acclaim of The Pinch and Lowland, Method Co. debuts their second hotel concept for the city designed in collaboration with Morris Adjmi Architects, blending historic charm with modern details
Charleston, South Carolina (June 11, 2025) – The acclaimed hospitality company Method Co. announces the official opening of their latest project, The Nickel Hotel. Situated on Charleston’s historic King Street in partnership with renowned New York-based architecture and interior design studio, Morris Adjmi Architects, and national real estate firm Capital Square, the 50-room hotel introduces a guest experience that’s both refined and refreshing to the city, featuring elegantly-designed rooms and suites, and lively communal spaces including a lush interior courtyard, a library, private event space and listening room, guest-only cocktail bar, and soon-to-open rooftop lounge which will be open to the public.
Following the success of its sister property, The Pinch, The Nickel Hotel is a new modern boutique in Charleston’s Cannonborough neighborhood. Designed by celebrated Morris Adjmi Architects in collaboration with Method Co.’s in-house design team, Method Studios, The Nickel Hotel melds Charleston’s design traditions with contemporary influences, taking cues from the city’s historic architecture and ornate ironwork. The Nickel also refers to the property’s location on the 500 block of King Street and ultimately celebrates the idea of time well spent.
“The Nickel Hotel is located in the Cannonborough neighborhood, which is filled with great restaurants, cool coffee shops and independent stores,” says Randall Cook, CEO of Method Co. “It’s exciting to be in the center of this area with so many creatives and young people – both locals and visitors alike.”
The lobby, situated directly on King Street, is a layered, contemporary interpretation of a Southern townhome’s interiors, featuring a hand-clipped European marble mosaic entry sign, honed gray and white checkerboard honed marble floor, and hand painted porcelain plaster – found in many of Charleston’s historic buildings – on the walls and ceiling, while a large antique French tapestry hangs in the lobby.
At the heart of the hotel lies the courtyard, serving as the property’s lush living room for guests to congregate. Drawing from the European influence embedded in Charleston’s architectural DNA, the courtyard features three stories of ornate wrought iron balconies, a palette of earthy terra cottas, a prominent wood-burning fireplace and a two-tiered fountain at its center, all draped in lush greenery and bathed in soft lighting from surrounding gas copper lanterns, creating a serene sanctuary off the bustling King Street. Overlooking the courtyard on the third floor is The Parlour, a private event space and listening room complete with a selection of vinyl. The intimate space boasts a club-like atmosphere, featuring oak herringbone flooring and leather and oak shelving with a large private balcony for either informal gatherings or work meetings.
The Nickel also features multiple distinct food and beverage venues, including Bar Daniel, a private guest lounge on the second floor, named after Daniel Cannon, a carpenter who founded the Cannonborough neighborhood. Serving guests throughout the day, the lounge transitions from a quiet place for espresso to a buzzy space for late-night cocktails. Meanwhile, the top floor will be home to Rosemary Rose, a rooftop lounge and bar with 360 views of Charleston, which will be open to the public later this summer. Inspired by the sun-filled ease of the French Riviera lifestyle, Rosemary Rose will offer light bites and a curated selection of cocktails in an outdoor space furnished with hacienda-style wrought iron lounge furniture and zellige tile tables made by Moroccan artisans, while an arched bar anchors the interior, complemented by intimate dining and lounge seating with custom-designed banquettes and expansive windows.
With guest rooms designed to evoke the comforts of home, each spacious room and suite features a full-size kitchen with built-in Bosch appliances, decorative aged bronze cabinet hardware, and honed marble countertops, in addition to a dining space, lounge area, and LG washer and dryer. Method Studios custom-designed furniture for the rooms, including the beds, sofas, media credenzas, armoires, and nightstands, while additional design features such as Gubi coffee tables, herringbone oak flooring, House of Hackney wallpaper, and Nordic Knot Scandinavian rugs, complete the look. Bathrooms feature a pop of color through tonal green wall tile and hand-glazed porcelain floor tiles in an encaustic clover pattern. Guests can choose their preferred view, either of the lush courtyard or vibrant King Street, with many rooms featuring private balconies.
Right in the heart of Charleston, the Nickel is sure to become a beloved destination for locals and visitors within the vibrant neighborhood of Cannonborough, known for its innovative restaurants, cafes, and independent boutiques.
