Who Knew?

When we decided as a family that the ice cream business was for us we didn't realize that there would be such a positive response from everyone around us. Every day someone asks me where the shop is going to be located, when we are going to open and most importantly...are we going to have their favorite flavor?? It's such a great feeling imagining our shop up and running that we have put forth a ton of hours already trying to find the best deal on supplies and products that have the best quality.

We have accomplished many of the steps involved in the process of opening a new business except for negotiating a lease and a few other things. As we have searched (I think we have driven more around town in the last month than we ever have) for that perfect location, YOU have been at the forefront of our choice. Joe will be meeting with a building owner to discuss a lease on Thursday, so cross your fingers that we can negotiate what we need so that your anticipation of our location will be over!

With that being said, we had already decided to 'repurpose' as much as we can for the shop. This has led us on a journey to find exactly the right decor and we found that Joe and I both have to be really excited about the item before we purchase it! In our business plan, we described our shop in detail about the ambiance and feel and we are well on our way to the eclectic, recycled, repurposed style!! I have posted a few pictures on our Facebook page of our finds (spoon and chalkboard) but the rest will have to wait until we open.

More to come soon..... :)
