I remember as a kid they were really good. Like some of the best ice cream I ever ate. Wide selection too.

Can't help but feel like they got the private-equity squeeze deal to turn them into a zombie.

Some MBA comes in and cuts all the corners, all the costs that made them a first class market leader. Turning them from the best out there into just another ice cream shop with nothing distinctive that Washington and Lincolns everyone for all their money. (We're long past nickles and dimes these days)
