We finally figured out that...
If we pack the ice cream in pint containers, we can sell it to grocery stores.
And that's what really turned the corner for the business.
Jerry and I were having a hard time making a profit at the ice cream shop because we were over-scooping.
You know, we realized that.
And it took us two years to figure out that that was the problem.
Is over-scooping giving people too much ice cream for their one scoop?
That's exactly what it is.
You were too generous with your scoops.
That's correct.
You know, any other food product is portioned in the back room where they have scales.
And in an ice cream shop, you're portioning it right in front of the customer and you get a lot of positive reinforcement for a really big scoop.
Right, right.
Right, exactly.
So anyhow, we decided to start packing our ice cream in pint containers and that's what kind of turned the corner for the business.
And the business was growing and we got to a state where we couldn't fill our orders because we were out of space and we couldn't store our raw ingredients because we didn't have enough space.
It's the stage in a business's life when it needs a cash infusion to move to the next level, which for us would be building our first real ice cream plant.
And, you know, there were all these venture capitalists that were coming to us.
We didn't solicit them, but they saw, hey, here's a business that's growing.
We can give you money.
