They say when one ice cream shop closes its doors, another one opens, and that’s exactly what happened when the only ice cream shop in Thornbury, Ontario scooped its last scoop in 2015.

Bike rides and beach days, pier jumps, and paddleboards; Thornbury is known as the place to spend summer, and the loss of the ice cream shop was felt throughout the community.

Living in the same small town for many years, Andrea and Rheanna managed to live somewhat parallel worlds until mutual friends connected them for a blind coffee date which led to one simple question… “Wanna open an ice cream shop?” After an impromptu (same day!) tour of the now-closed scoop shop, the two entrepreneurs signed off on a one-year lease.
