Very very sad news:
4/23 will be the last day of Randy’s Best Ice Cream. For those of you who knew about this, the time has come. For those who are seeing this in pure and utter shock, the reason is simple:
I am not quitting the ice cream because it’s hard now, or because it has been unsuccessful. I am walking away because I have been thinking about what my life looks like in 5, 10, and 15 years, and the ice cream doesn’t fit into it.
My priority in life is to not take over the ice cream industry, gain accolades, or go into 6 figure debt for a brick and mortar. My priority in life is to be a good partner to Sarah, see my family, and spend time with my friends. If I could achieve those things by expending less physical, emotional, and mental energy, I will 100% take that route.
I am writing this with so many mixed emotions. The greatest one is gratitude. I am so grateful for the friends who helped me get to this point. I am grateful for the friends I’ve made through the cart, and I am grateful for every single person who has come to the cart. This even includes the woman who loves harassing me, Deborah. Deborah I LOVE you.
Words can’t even begin to describe what I’m feeling, nor could they describe what I’ve been through.
Thank you x 1 billion.
4/23 is actually the cart’s anniversary. So, we will be going hard hard. Don’t know what I have planned but pull up and find out. Come through, give me a hug, cry with me, whatever you want.
I love you.
