⏳Where has the time gone?! Since my last post, we've celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas, the new year and a shift in our business model! Let's catch up!
As I've always shared, if you follow us on Instagram () you're probably all caught up because I post more frequently there! ☺️
That said, I ended 2025 feeling really grateful for another successful year of growth! For me, continued success and year end always lead to thoughtful hindsight/reflection and asking myself what's next.
As I reflected on what next looked like for me and this business, I made the decision to terminate the rental of our soft serve machines/carts at the end of 2025.
What?! Yes, I know it may be a shock to some if this is your first time hearing the news. While I LOVED bringing JOY to 600+ events and gatherings over the past (just shy of) 4 years, I felt it was time for a change & a new challenge.
🤩 This decision wasn't made on a whim and it wasn't because my business wasn't successful -- it was quite the opposite.
So, what now? Two of my machines/carts found their home in Columbus with Molly’s Market Party Rentals and the other two found their home in northeast Ohio at a new business The Soft Serve Cart! We are SO excited for the continued JOY and sweetness they will bring to celebrations around Ohio!🍦
🛒As far as what's next for me and Simple Soft Serve, my focus will be on consulting others who want to start a soft serve machine rental business and/or purchase our cart for a Taylor soft serve machine -- there's nothing like it out there!
Over the years, I've received countless requests to purchase our cart and until now, we weren't ready to do so until last fall when we sold our first one to Swirls by Shannon in Boston.
I'm excited about the possibility of helping others learn and grow in this space and even start from scratch as they chase their sweet dreams!
🤯 Wow, that was a lot! Thank you for all of your support these past several years and for what's to come!
