Our Story
It all started way back when Hope, the owner, was just eight years old. She had always loved sweets and began imagining what it would be like to one day own her own ice cream shop and candy store! She’d even mention possible locations to her parents whenever she saw that there was a space for rent while they were driving.
Her vision included how it would be designed, what types of sweet treats they’d carry, and the joy she’d see on her future customers’ faces as they had great times together. She began to think about this dream even more when her father became seriously ill. When he eventually passed away, Hope and her mom discussed putting this dream into motion, and so they did!
