Meet the Staff

Our staff at The Ark is committed to serving our customers with an energetic positivity and an enthusiasm unknown to mankind, all the while providing them with a delicious array of ice cream flavors and fried foods.

The only thing more important to them than serving their customers, though, is serving our Lord. As a Catholic organization, their mission is to bring you both ice cream and the word of God; we want to evangelize everyone who walks through our doors.
