We have been keeping a secret...
Coming this May....
We are opening up an ice cream shop!!!
Can you believe it? It's been a dream of ours for so long and it's all finally coming together. I have so much more to write about the process and how excited we are for this opportunity, but for now I'll leave you with a few photos and links to our website and social media pages, please like and follow if you don't mind :)
Here's our logo, designed by our friend CJ:
This is the building we are starting with:
Cute but ugly ;)
We will be giving it a major facelift. This is the sketch that my dad drew:
Cleaning and painting happened all weekend:
Our colors will be navy, white and pink. We are located near the village, the start of the bike path and by the harbor in our town. It's a great takeout spot with so much potential.
We hope you come visit us this May!
OH MY GOSH! This is amazing. How exciting. Will you be accepting student employees over the summer from over the pond? Or from, perhaps, the Chicago area. ;)

ReplyDeleteI'm SO EXCITED for all of you!!!!!!! A family business that sells ice cream- will there be anything more fun or happy-memory-making for your kids...not too mention money making for all too, of course. Best of luck and keep us all posted. If ever I make it to New England, I'll have to come check out your shop.

ReplyDeleteWow this is so exciting to hear! I married in to a family-owned business and it has changed my thinking about so many things. If more people realized the work and gumption involved in owning and running a small business it would do so much good for our country. Way to go Martins!
