Stories like this one light my heart up, big time. Congrats to Ken, Katie, Meg, and Jim of Capannari’s Ice Cream in Mount Prospect, Illinois for being a shining example of what sets local independent brick and mortars apart from their chain and franchise competitors. The “anything is possible” approach comes through loud and clear, and is an inspiration to us all.
Bonus points: Did you catch the poster in the window behind Ken? Yup. That’s right. The 3/50 Project, in all its glory. When I called to congratulate him on the story, he laughed. “Katie said you’d be happy.” He was right.
He was also preparing for Lee Dewyze (American Idol finalist) to hit town, which had just about everyone in Mount Prospect spinning like a whirling dervish…which, undoubtedly, means a whole lot of ice cream cones about to go out the door.
Thanks to everyone at Capannari’s for sharing the smiles, across the miles. I promise to pop in next time I’m in your neck of the woods (says the self-admitted ice cream addict).
