Your favorite ice cream shop can disappear

The world still lives through a pandemic and it affects many companies.


There is really nothing else as a trip to yourlocal ice cream shop. A summer day, indulging in house scoop ballsice cream With your loved ones from a place that seems to never change, it's a comfort-really one of the little joys of life. But during apandemic, Ice cream stores have unfortunately taken a huge success, which was to reduce employee remuneration and in some cases,Laying staff members. And it is not clear if these beloved establishments can survive.

Even now, as moreCities reassociateIt is not easy for ice cream stores bouncing.

So, why could ice cream stores not be able to recover?

First things first: when you think abouttakeaway, ice cream is not necessarily what comes to mind. Most of the time, a Sundae or Milkshake ice cream is supposed to be eatenjust after It is done. He gets up, dressed in all the fittings, and goes right into the customer's hands. If the ice cream must travel a little to a customer, at the moment when he arrives at his door, he begins to melt and the Sundae is, well, a mess.

Make orders in advance for pickup is not really easy for the same reasons - ice cream is supposed to be ordered and eaten right away. So, while many restaurants were able to turn to the draw to keep businessworthy business, we can not say as much for ice cream shops.

"The ability of ice cream owners to follow in order to follow a legally mandated and community-accepted way was struggling" Steve Christensen, Executive Director of the National Association of Ice Cream Retailerssaid in an interview. "Many shops work twice as hard for half."

Many ice cream stores do not necessarily have aDrive-thru either, which is another way they have not really been able to take full advantage of other servicesFast facilities and restaurants have been able to. Some locations have adopted a window style of the walk window, but part of what allows you to get an ice cream a complete experience is sitting and dragging into the store itself. With this appearance of novelty removed, it is easy to see the foot traffic decrease even more. In addition, the size of ice cream stores is usually much smaller than aTypical sit-down restaurant. Thus, when you already limit the number of people authorized at once at once and practice social distance, it is easy to see why it is such a struggle for locally belonging specialty stains.

Although many stores are trying to adapt, it also becomes more expensive. Ice cream stores do what they can, offer more options at GO, but these new packaging methods and containers are better adapted to more delivery costs. And some shops that do not do their own ice, according to Christensen, must buy the ice that they serve in pinty and quarter containers instead of big bathtubs. These bigger drinks that they usually exposed and scoops out of customers who walk and order overallcheaper cost than buying the smallest options.

The time will say to see how local ice cream stores are silent, but if you can, always try to pay these beloved places a visit now that the weather warms up. After all, even for a difficult period like everyone is currently experiencing, ice cream can always bring a smile to all the face of anyone.
