One of the best members of this forum is an owner of an Italian ice and ice cream store in New York. @pessosices is super helpful and knowledgeable in Square and in running a business too. Ask any questions you have and I know he'd love to help out if he can.

We have operated an ice cream dessert shop since 2013. We switched to the Square platform last year when we went take-out only at the start of the pandemic. We are located in British Columbia, Canada. Are you a NICRA member?

@VanKalkerFarms - I think my eyes lit up when I saw this thread in the same way I bet yours did. I would love for more folks to find their way in here to connect with @pessosices.

@ibrogden @Hello. We are introducing our new coffee cafe mid October here in Georgia. We are also an ice cream shop primarily. Nice to meet you!

Yes I’m a new member. During the beginning of the pandemic I joined. I’m actually on Atlanta (Ellenwood) Georgia USA. I absolutely love NICRA a lot of great information and resources. I would love more virtual meetings for us to actually see each!!

Yes, we are Coney Island Creamery. We are a manufacturer of Ube Ice Cream and many tropical flavors (Southeast Asia, Filipino, Tropical Fusion) here in Southern CA. We don't operate a brick and mortar store, but we are seriously thinking about growing our retail operations. We were a member of NICRA pre-pandemic, and found their trade show amazing for networking and education, learning from businesses who have been around longer. We would love to share ideas and learn best practices (especially frozen shipping) with everyone. Check us out @coneyislandcreamery www.coneyislandcreamery.com We use Square for our online store.

Love to see all of the ice cream shops in here! I own Ice Dreammm Shop which is just north of Tampa, FL with two locations and a mobile unit. Happy to connect with others here 🙂

Hi, Love connecting with folks here. Did you start with brick and mortar or mobile? Do you have time to share some best practices of how you decided on physical location and mobile? Let us know if there is a good time to connect by phone.

As someone outside the industry, frozen shipping sounds crazy complicated. Is it just a matter of leveraging Freezer trucks?

schemjo — Wed, 29 Sep 2021 16:55:08 GMT

Hi, I started with a brick and mortar, then the mobile trailer then the 2nd shop. My first location is in the worst possible location and goes against any advice one would recommend but we've been there 4 years so far. I was determined to make it work 🙂 I just followed you on Instagram so feel free to reach out anytime.

Very cool, @schemjo !

I'll be down there in October/November so I might just have to stop by!

@schemjo Power to you for pushing through in a rough location and making it work!

Very cool, @ConeyIcreamery ! I love the diverse flavor selection & ideas!
