Popular Scoop Shop and New Dining Added to Downtown District

Fishers, IN · August 1, 2026

Saturday morning brings warm breezes and a busy schedule across town — grab an iced coffee before heading out to the market.

The Lead

Developers at Thompson Thrift have finalized several key retail and dining additions for The Union at Fishers District, headlined by Ohio-based Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. The popular artisan scoop shop joins a burgeoning tenant roster that includes Cunningham Restaurant Group, Flower Child, Piedra Mexican Steakhouse, Tous les Jours bakery, and the state’s first AC Hotel by Marriott.

The mixed-use site aims to create a highly walkable hub, with the Union Flats residential component slated to begin welcoming its first apartment tenants later this year. With only two commercial spaces remaining available across the entire footprint, final leasing phase work is drawing to a close. Construction crews are wrapping up interior buildouts through the fall ahead of individual store opening announcements.
