Micro Business Idea: Ice Cream Shop

You are here: Home / Micro Business Ideas / Micro Business Idea: Ice Cream Shop

Jenny And Mike's Soft ServeAmazing! Two Pennsylvania teens, Jenny Carey and Mike Gombita, started an ice cream store.

Jenny Carey and Mike Gombita are seniors in high school that were having trouble finding a summer job. So after dinner one night they brainstormed a great job possibility. They thought, “What if we started  our very own ice cream shop called ‘Jenny & Mike’s Soft Serve’?”

After some discussion, Mike’s mom purchased a stand along Route 191 and gave Mike and Jenny the power to manage and  market the ice cream shop. Watch their story in the video below.

From a parent

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.

I can hardly believe we are at this point in our life-and here he is a young man ready to try his fortune with the world.
