For decades, Bonnie Brae Ice Cream has been serving up delicious flavors, with lines often snaking out the front door. It's a scene that’s been missing over the last two years — until now. via IvanRodriguezTV
“I think we're ready to open the store,” said Adrian Simon, co-owner of Bonnie Brae Ice Cream.“For two years, we've had everyone coming up to these windows here. So we're finally like taking those takeout windows out and putting in permanent windows again,” said Simon.“We have a lot of younger staff who this is their first job and so this is our first time interacting with staff face-to-face.
Before officially opening the doors Tuesday, staff spent the day cleaning, making fresh waffle cones and, most importantly, ice cream. “Being able to actually see the flavors and talk to the staff and get samples is going to be super exciting,” said Simon. One challenge Bonnie Brae, along with many other businesses, has faced is hiring. With positions still open, Simon hopes to fill all jobs heading into Memorial Day Weekend and beyond.
“We hire younger staff, and so we kind of consider ourselves a little bit of a job training type situation. And so it was hard getting younger staff who weren't already busy at school with COVID, and all the stresses of that, wanting to work at the store,” said Simon.“It's very surreal, but we're very, very excited,” said Simon.
