How is Peoria's Top Ice Cream Spot Growing?
Peoria's top ice cream spot, Emack & Bolio's, is under new ownership and experiencing growth and change. Here are the details: New Ownership: The Peoria Heights store was bought by local business owner Matt Algas and his wife, a real estate agent. They decided to purchase the store when they learned it was available. Expansion: The new owners have made several improvements to enhance the customer experience. They now serve homemade waffle bowls in addition to traditional bowls and cones, added a whiteboard for creative expression, and plan to expand their presence at local events. Community Engagement: The owners aim to keep the rock 'n' roll vibe of Emack & Bolio's alive and are excited to engage in community activities, such as Peoria Heights' Friday Night in the Heights. Recognition: Emack & Bolio's is ranked among the top three ice cream/frozen yogurt/frozen custard shops in the Peoria area according to the Official Community's Choice Awards. This shows strong local support and appreciation for the brand.
