April 15th, 2017 at 11:00am is when it all started. I remember like it was yesterday after all it was day one of our lifelong Journey. That meant that we would put it all on the line for something we truly believe in. It was Thursday July 21st, the evening of my birthday when you would be drenched in sweat for simply standing outside due to the temps being over 93°. From the moment my wife and I witness an aloof man who literally put a cigarette out on the dashboard of his old rusted truck and blow the smoke out of the window where all the kids (including our three) gather to order a sweet treat. Growing up in this community we could remember hearing the jingle far more often then now. when there was an ice cream truck in every neighborhood a couple times a week and wanted the children of the future to be able to experience the summer time childhood fun that we've once did growing up. From that day forward we've been building what's known today as the SUGAR BOXX. After hearing that kids where disappointed because we didn't make it to there neighborhood more often, We opened up a storefront at 5700 6th Avenue, Kenosha WI. The goal was to incorporate play time with treats and to give the kids of the future a clean, safe, and secure environment for them to experience.
I'm writing you today because we've encountered a few obstacles along the way. We've recently moved to 2225 63rd Street Kenosha WI. The goal is to offer a much larger play area. And incorporate scoop ice cream to our menu while still offering Ice cream truck novelties.
After using all our savings and taking a lone from our 401k's we are at a halt.
