When my parents decided to open up an ice cream shop when I was 12, I didn’t think much of it other than “free ice cream!” It was really exciting and I loved having somewhere to go as a kid and take my friends for a free scoop. Now here we are, 30 years later and they’re talking about handing off the store to me. I never imagined I would own my own business but after watching them run this place for so long, I have a few ideas for how we could improve it. First, I would go to www.bank-card-processing.com and look into how we could finally accept credit cards. I would also start hiring summer help since that’s obviously when it’s busiest in the store and we really get overwhelmed easily. Lastly, I would talk to the property next door about pruning those darn bushes! I guess time will tell if I’ll one day own an ice cream store but until the I’m happy to help out mom and dad when they need it.
