It was a hot start to Saturday for Gunther’s Ice Cream, as an exterior fire broke out early in the morning. Firefighters responded swiftly, though the flames left behind some smoke damage, particularly in the manufacturing room. Fortunately, the spirited team at Gunther’s didn’t let the fire put a chill on their business—customers still flocked to the iconic ice cream shop that same day!
Located in the 2800 block of Franklin Boulevard, Gunther’s Ice Cream had a window boarded up and an awning with a bit of a singe, but the sweet treats continued to flow. It just goes to show that nothing—including a fire—can really stop the dessert lovers from creeping through the doors for their fix. Ice cream enthusiasts are tougher than any flames!
For those lucky enough to enjoy a scoop or two on that fateful day, this serves as a reminder that sometimes a little drama makes the ice cream taste even sweeter! If you were a customer at Gunther’s that day, how would you have felt about the experience?
