Dari Delite

Dari Delite If all goes well, we will be opening Mon. April 18, 2022. There have been a few bumps along the way with supplies. Please be patient. Julie & Frank

We may not have everything available when we open. We love hearing about the memories from our customers. We have kept our product as tasteful as when our Aunt, Uncle and Mother started the Dari Delite. Our hard ice cream is mostly Hershey's. We have tested others but think Hershey's is the best. We also have a delicious line of "no sugar" added ice creams. Our customers have told us they drive ou

t of their way to get them. This line of ice cream is made in MA. This is a small, family owned business and we have tried to keep the prices affordable for all families to enjoy. We are not fancy, but we feel we are serving a high quality and tasteful product. We also serve Kayem Hot Dogs and a true Polish Kielbasa. Our chicken salad is freshly made with our special blend of ingredients. We wish to thank our old and new customers. We're not getting rich but we work hard to keep an established iconic memory alive. Thank you for all your patronage and great memories.

For some reason people thought we were closing this past weekend. Our last day is next Sun. AUGUST 28th.

We have been so busy. Last night we ran out of several of our items. We'll try to restock as many as possible of the favorites. We will get supplies as necessary but we don't want to overstock for one week. There is no such thing as small amounts of materials. Every thing is in bulk.

We want to thank everyone who has visited us these past few weeks. It has reminded us of the old days when trying to find a parking space wasn't that easy. We've seen groups of people just enjoying themselves. My Aunt, Uncle and Mother would be so pleased. Thank you again.

I need to make this perfectly clear. I'm not appreciating some of the mean things people have written about us. They know nothing about our business. When did it become acceptable to bash people?

Only a family member can continue to run the Dari Delite. Not one person in my family wants to do it. It's hard work and long days. Not to mention, you never have a summer off.

At this time, the nothing in the building is for sale. I have siblings who are interested in some of the memories. My Uncle John made the Orange Whip signs in 1956. People may have painted them for my Aunt and Uncle, but they were custom made.

We need time to digest what we'll do with what's in the building. What we want to keep and what we want to get rid of. The building and contents are owned by my large family. Frank and I ran it on a daily basis.

I really loved reading as many comments as I could. I will get through them when I have more time. Memories people share, are memories I remember. It was a different time. Things change.

As you can imagine, we have been extremely busy since we announced our closing. Please be patient if the line is a little longer than usual. Oddly, it's as busy as it was when we first opened.

Thank you again for all the kind words and patronage.

We have picked a date to close. It will be on Sunday, AUGUST 28, 2022.

Our wonderful staff are all heading back to school and college.

We thank you for all the memories and comments on our page. I will take the time to read them all when we close in Aug.

Well, this hasn't been an easy decision but this will be the last year for the Dari Delite. Business has been off, our soft serve ice cream machine is one step from giving up and we're old and tired. It has been a good run of almost 66 years. Times and families have changed. Piling into a car for a family treat is now a thing of the past. Meeting friends at the DD is no longer a thing. So, it's time to make this our last year.

We have had many wonderful people on our staff and many loyal customers. For that we are very grateful.

I want to make this perfectly clear, the building is not for sale or for lease. I will be using it for personal things. It's an old building and is getting tired like us. Please don't ask our staff about this. It's a final decision.

We do want to thank everyone for the many years we were open. It wouldn't have been possible without your support. We loved hearing about all the fond memories through the generations. We hope to see you before we close. A final date has not been set.
