The Ice Creamsmith was opened in the Dorchester Lower Mills neighborhood of Boston in June, 1976, the result of two neighbors being unemployed. David Mabel, with a degree in Public Relations, and his Dorchester neighbor, a Sociology major, saw an ad in the paper for the equipment and “know-how” to open a homemade ice cream store, and decided to take a chance.
What a wonderful business story and a great treat to have here in the neighborhood.
