Today was a special day. Not because a ribbon was cut. Not because a new building opened.
But because we got to witness what happens when hard work, sacrifice, faith, and perseverance come together after showing up day after day. After starting small and dreaming big.
Today, we had the honor of attending the official ribbon cutting for Chilly Billy’s Ice Cream’s new brick and mortar location in Cambridge.
As one of our wholesale partners, we’ve had the privilege of watching their journey from behind the scenes, starting from an ice cream trailer and moments like today remind us why we love supporting fellow small businesses.
What many people see is the finished product—the building, the celebration, the crowd gathered to cheer them on.
What they don’t always see are the early mornings, the late nights, the risks taken, the obstacles overcome, the moments of doubt, and the countless decisions made when no one was watching.
What has always meant so much to us about Chilly Billy’s is that they genuinely believe in supporting local. In a world where it’s often easier to choose the biggest supplier or the cheapest option, they intentionally choose quality & relationships. They choose community. They choose to do business with other local businesses because they understand that when one local business succeeds, our entire community becomes stronger.
They also share our commitment to quality. They understand that great products start with great ingredients and that customers can taste the difference when care, craftsmanship, and integrity are part of the process.
They also believe in our mission. They believe that sustainability matters. They believe in reducing food waste. They believe in giving perfectly good fruit a second life through the products we create. And they have supported that mission by choosing to serve our ice cream and sorbet to their Cambridge customers.
For us, partnerships like this are about so much more than selling ice cream. They’re about shared values. They’re about supporting one another’s dreams. They’re about proving that family-owned businesses can still thrive when communities rally around them.
Small businesses are built on dreams, but they survive on grit. And the very best small businesses also survive on faith in the Lord. This small business has been such a blessing to our own family and the Cambridge community.
As business owners ourselves, we know that every ribbon cutting represents thousands of unseen moments where someone chose not to quit. It represents families who invested everything they had into a vision. It represents communities that showed up and supported local.
Today wasn’t just about a new location. It was about a milestone earned.
We are incredibly proud to call Chilly Billy’s partners and we were even more proud to celebrate this moment with them today.
Chilly Billy’s … Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your story. When one small business succeeds, it inspires all of us to keep believing that big dreams can still grow from small beginnings. ❤️
Congratulations Bill, Debbie, Shanna and the entire Chilly Billy’s team on a well-deserved achievement.
