After three days of mild disturbance to the peace on Main Street (sorry, neighbors!), the original floor is completely gone. The back portion of the shop, which once was raised about a foot and a half above the rest, has been happily annihilated.

Our space is limited, so we're aiming to squeeze as much utility as possible out of what we've got. With our newly flattened footprint we'll have enough room for the incoming refrigeration, cooking range, and the all-important batch freezer.

Tomorrow, I'll share our plans for the building's facade. It's a pretty stark departure from... whatever you would call it now.

Construction of the Tubby Robot Ice Cream Factory is underway!

Our demolition crew is currently tearing down the interior walls and making prodigious use of jackhammers to remove the entirety of the floor. Don't worry! We'll be replacing it with a better floor soon.

This project centers on the revitalization of a property that has lain dormant on Main Street Manayunk's otherwise bustling commercial district for many years. As neighbors ourselves, we're excited to have the opportunity to contribute to Manayunk's unique flavor.

Demolition is planned to continue until mid-week, at which point we'll have a blank slate on which to build our tiny frozen empire. I'll share some more details about what we have planned as the week progresses!
