It has been our absolute pleasure to have scooped countless cones of frozen custard, assisted in finding the perfect gift and of course icing up a bonkers amount of cupcakes! But more than the products sold, it’s the people and true relationships that have been formed along the way. The current world of Amazon-swift purchasing doesn’t allow for bonding with folks in person and we especially value the lovely gift of watching guests’ children grow (…and then eventually even bringing their own kids into the shop!).
It’s also been a sincere privilege to witness the myriad of young women staffers that we’ve had over the years blossom in confidence as their formative interpersonal skills develop. To see how they go on to lead their creative and distinct lives is a uniquely cherished joy!
The gratitude rightly extends to Patti who has been a single-handed foundational reason that we’ve stayed open for almost three decades. Her tremendous dedication and commitment have been simply unparalleled.
Guest and staff loyalty are what has allowed us to thrive for almost three decades and as we wrap up our brick and mortar business, it’s a much easier feat knowing that the baton is being handed off to North-End Market Candle Bar. Megan and Matt are a dynamic brother and sister duo who are deeply invested in doing business in the City of the Village of Clarkston. Hats off to them!
