Directions OpenStreetMap

Rich & Creamy is a soft-serve ice cream stand in Joliet, IL, on Broadway, which carried Route 66 through the city. It is the kind of walk-up stand that once dotted the highway, and it is hard to miss: statues of Jake and Elwood, the Blues Brothers, dance on top of its tower, which is wrapped in neon. The stand sits in Joliet's Route 66 Park.

What is Rich & Creamy?

A small walk-up stand with the two Blues Brothers figures on its roof. Joliet has a place in the movie: its story begins at the old Joliet prison, which stands less than a mile from here.

Visiting Rich & Creamy: tips

Order at the window and take it into Route 66 Park next door. Ice cream stands in this part of the country are often seasonal, so check that it is open before counting on it. The Joliet Iron and Steel Works is about 0.3 miles away and the Old Joliet Prison about 0.7 miles.
