Well, today we put the Popcycle cart away for a long winter’s nap.

We wanted to thank EVERYONE for the support this past summer. From our bank (CIBC), to the The City of Barrie inspectors and bylaw officers, our business mentors, our downtown hosts, our event clients and ice cream treat fanatics wherever we went. Thank you Grandma Lillian Hofer for your famous butter tarts!

THANK YOU!

A special thank you to Sonder Studio + Events for hosting our launch day, our closing day and every Thursday in between.

We learned a lot about entrepreneurship, retail, food service, scheduling, events, quoting, budgeting, marketing, banking, bylaws, best practices during a pandemic - and how to get creative making money.

Have a great winter and we’ll see you next year!
