A beloved ice cream institution is about to bid farewell after 45 years of sweet memories and delicious treats. The iconic White Mountain Creamery, a staple for Boston College students, is closing its doors, but the story doesn't end there.
This family-run gem, nestled in Chestnut Hill, will be passing the torch to a popular local chain, New City Microcreamery, starting December 1st. The owners, with a heavy heart, wrote on their website, "After 45 incredible years, we're saying goodbye by the week of November 23rd."
But here's where it gets controversial... New City Microcreamery, an award-winning brand known for its liquid nitrogen freezing method, is stepping in to continue the legacy. Michael Kasseris, co-founder of New City, expressed their honor in carrying forward the tradition. "We want to keep the essence of White Mountain Creamery alive, while bringing our unique flavors and experiences to the community."
And this is the part most people miss... White Mountain Creamery's owner, Peter Coufos, spent a year carefully vetting candidates to ensure the tradition would continue. He found his perfect match in New City, and now, he's excited to watch this new chapter unfold.
"It's been a pleasure and an honor to serve our loyal customers for 45 years. We're grateful for the community's support, and we wish them all the best," Coufos wrote on the Creamery's website.
So, what do you think? Is this a smooth transition or a controversial move? Will New City Microcreamery be able to live up to the legacy of White Mountain Creamery? Share your thoughts in the comments below! We'd love to hear your opinions on this sweet story.
