A Sweet Visionary: Paul Tamburello Brings Little Man Ice Cream to Cherry Creek North
Every neighborhood is defined by its character, its gathering spaces, and the visionaries who dare to make them more vibrant. In Denver, few names resonate with that spirit of imagination and community quite like Paul Tamburello. His work has always struck me as both visionary and deeply thoughtful—rooted not just in business acumen, but in a genuine love for people, place, and possibility.
With the opening of Little Man Ice Cream in Cherry Creek North, Paul has once again given Denver a gift—a place that feels as warm as it is whimsical, as much about joy as it is about flavor. For years, Little Man has been a beloved destination in the Highland neighborhood, with its iconic milk can structure and its mission to bring delight to every scoop. Now, Cherry Creek North has its slice of that magic.
This opening is more than just another shop—it’s a moment of connection for one of Denver’s most cherished neighborhoods. Cherry Creek has always been a hub of culture, dining, and sophistication, and Paul’s decision to plant Little Man here speaks to his instinct for creating spaces that bring people together. Families strolling on a summer evening, friends meeting up after a day of shopping, or neighbors finding a new favorite gathering spot—Little Man is poised to be the backdrop for countless shared memories.
What sets Paul apart is the way he blends vision with heart. Little Man has never been about ice cream alone. From its inception, it’s carried a sense of community, generosity, and global connection, with every scoop supporting causes that stretch far beyond Denver. That thoughtful balance—local joy with worldwide impact—is the hallmark of Paul’s entrepreneurial spirit.
Cherry Creek North is fortunate to receive such a gift. In a world that often moves too fast, Little Man Ice Cream offers a pause, a smile, and a reminder that simple pleasures matter. Paul Tamburello has once again shown that entrepreneurship, at its best, is not just about building businesses—it’s about building community.
