“It was always my families and friends go to Ice Cream Shop. It would be the shop we stop at before going to my grandparents house in the summer. We would pick them up their favorite treat and show up with before dinner. The best is when we were allowed to eat our cones or cups of ice cream before dinner. Sheer delight!” -Jenny Bilchak
“I was born in Youngstown, lived there until I was 5 years old, and traveled back and forth to see my grandparents there until I was 10. For those who do not know, Handel’s originated in Youngstown so my family and I used to go to the original Handel’s all of the time. I remember the excitement we had when they opened the first Central Ohio location! This yummy treat brings back such wonderful memories with my family!” -Madison Dyll
