Your city's newest ice cream empire is on two wheels
Good morning from the island — we're still here, the orcas were spotted at Active Pass, and honestly, life is fine.
Well, here's the thing about our city's heartbeat: sometimes it's not the big votes, but the quiet hum of new ventures setting up shop. Take Hazel's Ice Cream Ltd., for example. They just secured two business licenses (numbers 40784 and 40447) as a mobile bicycle vendor. Yes, two licenses for what appears to be a single, albeit ambitious, ice cream operation. It makes you wonder, doesn't it, about the logistics of cycling around with frozen treats? Perhaps one bike is for sprinkles and the other for cones.
This detail, plucked from the city's recent business license records, tells a small story about entrepreneurship here. While we often focus on the grand plans for the Inner Harbour or the ongoing saga of deer in Beacon Hill Park, it's these smaller, more whimsical entries that truly add flavour to our streets.
* Hazel's Ice Cream Ltd. is a new mobile bicycle vendor. * They hold two business licenses: #40784 and #40447. * This suggests an expansion or a unique operational model for a mobile business.
It’s a reminder that even as grander developments unfold, the small-scale, community-oriented businesses continue to find their place, rolling into our neighbourhoods. Keep an eye out for those colourful bikes this summer; they might just be Hazel's, bringing a bit of joy to a sunny day.
That’s the record from City Hall.
