First we have Brusters, they were founded in 1989 by Bruce Reed whose passion for fresh high-quality food and stellar customer service runs deep. Bruce Reed was trying to find a complimentary business to open on the land adjacent to his family’s car hop restaurant. Bruce’s father, Jerry Reed, opened the legendary Jerry’s Curb Service in Bridgewater, PA in 1947 after completing a tour of service in the US Air Force. Brusters is known for a community staple where you can treat yourself, someone you love and share sweet memories along the way. Brusters flavors are Chocolate with Hershey’s special Dark, Purple Dinosaur, Coffee Oreo, Cotton Candy Explosion, and Birthday Cake. Jonah Siegelin says, “I like brusters because of all their different varieties of flavors.” Addilyn Christian says, ‘i like to get their freezes and I like their homemade ice cream.” 

Second we have The Chocolate Moose. The Chocolate Moose is a continuation of May’s Café, opened in 1933 by Cletus May after losing his manufacturing job during the Great Depression. Cletus and his wife, Elmsley, operated May’s Café for several years before deciding to downsize to an ice cream parlor due to the poor economy. Their eldest son, Doran, moved the parlor into the current Chocolate Moose building during the 1950’s and named it the Penguin. After closing down temporarily, it was reopened, this time as The Chocolate Moose, in 1983, and has operated continuously ever since. After changing ownership to Doran’s son, Tim, then to Jeff Grossnickle, Justin Loveless took over ownership and operation in 2013. The Chocolate Moose website says, “We take our ice cream seriously. Whether you want it in a cup, on a cone, mixed into a shake, or blended up with one of our many stir-ins, we want to make sure it exceeds your expectations.” KyvLynn Shipley says “I like chocolate moose and my favorite thing to get is the pineapple whip.”  Alaina Felton, says “ I like chocolate mousses espresso ice cream, I know Mrs noth’s daughter worked there.”
