An Open Letter to J.P. Licks

Dear J.P. Licks:

Let's get a few things out of the way before getting to my complaint. To begin with, I love your ice cream and I love the fact that your company originated in Boston. To be able to sate my appetite for great ice cream while supporting a local business is, in my opinion, a beautiful thing. When Coldstone Creamery opened up across the street from your store in Newton Centre I made it a point to go to your store and told my friends to do the same in order to support your business. In other words, I am a loyal J.P. Licks customer.
