Boston, MA-NH (1888PressRelease)
April 17, 2008 - There are tens of thousands of Red Sox fans as J.P. Licks discovered on home opening day, as they handed out free ice cream all day to say “Thank You” to their loyal customers! J.P. Licks gave away over 26, 000 scoops of ice cream to both fans of the Sox and fans of their homemade ice cream.
“It was an amazing day. The weather cooperated, the Sox won, people were strolling around enjoying our ice cream. It was a little like hosting a gigantic block party,” noted Vince Petryk, owner of the seven J.P. Licks stores.
The four limited edition flavors - Green Monster Tea, Rice DICE Kream, One Sweet World Series and Manny's Mocha Chip- created especially for the Boston team were a hit and in demand.
Kids of all ages enjoyed J.P. Licks’ tribute “Slider Sundae”, made with their choice of ice cream and topping and served in a Red Sox logo cap.
Petryk continued, “This is our second year doing this and we cannot wait until next year to do it again. Baseball and ice cream simply go together. It’s a great way to mark the start of the season.”
Best of Boston and Beyond
For more than 25 years, J.P. Licks has been serving homemade ice cream and other specialties in their seven Kosher-certified shops in and around Boston. Locally owned and operated, J.P. Licks has won many awards over the years for their intensely-flavored homemade ice cream and frozen yogurt. Most recently, J.P. Licks was named “Best of Boston” by Boston Magazine and also made WBZ’s “A-List” for the second year in a row. Known for their high quality, scrumptious treats and their knack for “treating people right”, J.P. Licks was named Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce’s “Small Business of the Year”.
In addition to their frozen creations, J.P. Licks has taken it upon themselves to roast their own fair trade and organic coffee beans on-site at their Jamaica Plain store, which ensures the best and the freshest, full-bodied cup of coffee around. Decadent hand-packed ice cream cakes as well as breakfast & ice cream sundae catering are also available.
