Your family owned business had not been doing as well. After three generations have run the corner ice cream store, the sales started to slow as you had to continually compete with stores that were offering a new version of frozen treats. Fortunately, you were able to work with a local sign company that helped update the business sign in front of your store. In addition to the glitzy new sign, the company also worked with you to create custom vinyl door decals and wall messages. Going through pictures from the past 70 years, you highlighted the many reasons people decide to celebrate with an ice cream treat from your store:
