Hi all! A quick note to share that the truck will not be opening at the airport this week. To be frank, we are in a very tight financial spot. Last year we had transmission repairs that not only cost thousands upfront, but caused us to miss nearly a month of revenue, which is a huge amount to miss out on for an ice cream business in Maine. This meant heading into winter with less funds. Spring forward to fronting registration, licensing and permitting costs, inventory, payroll, two more unexpected visits to the mechanic and getting towed, and we do not have the money to continue to float payroll while we wait for business to pick up. The truck bounces back from repairs much quicker than the bank account does. Our hope is that once school is out and summer is in full swing we might do better at the airport. We will fulfill the few private event bookings on the calendar, but are not sure what the future looks like otherwise at this point.
Thank you to everyone who has followed us on social media, stopped by the truck over the last few years, shared posts, written reviews, hired us for your most special days of your lives. And a big thank you most especially to our team who saved us last year and have taken this news so gracefully. Small business ownership is not easy, and in spite of having moments of feeling like a failure, we are still very proud of what we built. It has been an adventure to say the least!
We will update again as soon as we can.
