Friends, here’s the latest —

In short, we still have a lot to figure out.

As we said in our video series, time will ultimately tell what the future holds for the corner of Wehrle & Union.

Right now, we just don’t know.

Special thanks to Tracey Drury from Buffalo Business First for taking the time to share our story.

Season One, Episode Four
Finale
160 sec

Right now, Frank and I are doing our best to process everything that happened and the unimaginable tragedy that occurred on July 6th.

We are sad.
We are angry.

There are a lot of questions we still do not have answers to.

Time will tell what the future holds for the corner of Wehrle and Union.

For now, we're reminded of what matters most and focusing on what's in front of us --

We are fortunate to have an incredible team with us and the strength of the community behind us.

We know it will be ok.
And that a new chapter is still to be written.

Thank you for the support and for following us on this journey.

to be continued....

GOOD LUCK AT HOGWARTS! 📕

Sending our high schoolers off to college never really seems to get any easier.

This week, we started saying goodbye (for now) to some of the best humans we’ve had the opportunity to work with — all from City Honors School.

For most, this was their first job. They learned a lot of important life skills that go well beyond the classroom.

We’re going to miss them, but can’t wait to see what comes next.

The future is bright.

Good luck, Ms. Kaitlyn!

❤️ Team Frank

ICE CREAM SOCIAL 🍨
August 2, 2026

Summer adventures with the best crew around.

Started our day with a trip to Bar Bill and finished it off with ice cream cones & sundaes at Pautler’s.

We’re feeling incredibly grateful and proud of the team we are building and the company we are becoming.

Good things ahead.

Stay tuned.
