Small business-to-small business, we thought we'd

Small business-to-small business, we thought we'd recognize Black History Month by promoting Black-owned small businesses in Charlotte throughout all of our marketing channels. Kicking off this week is our team's favorite local ice cream shop, Two Scoops Creamery!

"We are locally owned and ran by three best friends. Marques is a lactose intolerant ice cream lover who learned the art of ice cream making in Florida from his family, Jae is our super friendly managing partner there to make sure you are fat and happy and Rich is a professional golfer slash entrepreneur who is probably riding around the shop right now on his Segway Hoverboard. Our recipes are all family secrets that make them unique to Two Scoops Creamery" -Two Scoops Creamery

Treat yo'self--or your Valentine--at any of their 3 locations! 🍦💕
