Arcari's

Post by Mimpty » 21 Apr 2005, 13:27

Can anyone tell me what has happened to Arcari's shop in the High Street?
There was a sign in the window a couple of weeks ago but it disappeared before I could get there to read it?
Hope it's just a refurbishment. Summer is a comin'

Carlo shut up shop back in March. But you can still get their ice cream from their warehouse at the Wisp.

I'm sure the sign said they were shutting permanently

Had trouble competing with macalls.
I believe Carlo is now mobile in one of his dad's vans.

The summer won't be the same without an Arcaris 99 :cry:
It was my favourite ice cream.

They have not gone Mimpty, you can still go to the factory up 'The Wisp' and buy it there. It keeps in the fridge.
