Boom Town Creamery: ‘TFCU has supported, cheered for and accelerated my business.’
When Angela Muir moved to Oklahoma City in 2020, she wasn’t planning to launch a fast-growing dessert brand. She was simply looking for a great scoop of ice cream. “I like big chunks, handmade swirls and really high-quality ingredients,” she recalls. “I just wasn’t finding it.” What she found instead was a gap — and an opportunity.
Building Boom Town Creamery
In 2022, Muir opened the first Boom Town Creamery location on 23rd Street. By 2025, Boom Town had grown to four brick-and-mortar locations across the city.
At the heart of that growth is an unwavering commitment to quality. Everything — from the ice cream base to mix-ins — is made from scratch. The menu balances nostalgic classics with inventive creations.
“Angela’s a visionary and I love how passionate she is about the quality of her product,” says David Attaway, TFCU Sr. Commercial Loan Officer. “She has a tremendous commitment to excellence and it shows.”
The power of the right financial partner
Behind Boom Town’s rapid growth is another key ingredient: the right financial relationship. Early on, Muir relied on a traditional bank — but when she sought financing for a small expansion, she was quickly turned away.
Enter Tinker Federal Credit Union. Unlike her previous experience, the TFCU commercial lending team took the time to understand Muir’s business, her vision and her goals.
With TFCU’s support, Boom Town secured financing for key growth moments — from acquiring an ice cream truck to expanding into new locations, such as the historic Skirvin Hilton in downtown Oklahoma City.
Looking ahead
Boom Town’s dedication to quality hasn’t gone unnoticed. At the 2025 annual convention of the North American Ice Cream Association, Boom Town’s chocolate ice cream didn’t just win — it earned the highest score across all entries in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
And as the business grows, one thing remains constant: the importance of strong relationships. “With the right partners,” she says, “you can build something really special.”
