He employs four full-time and six temporary staff who use the cart. Jeff explained that he orders the ice cream bars in bulk from a company in Winnipeg, MB. A minimum of 1,500 bars can be bought at once and sent in a 700- Ib. crate surrounded by dry ice. Only one crate is usually bought at a time and lasts about one or two weeks, depending on the weather. The ice cream is kept at the Mikus house in three freezers - one in the house and two in the garage. "Terrace Bay has eaten 5,599 ice cream bars this summer," said Jeff. Jeff likes his job and hopes to expand in another business nest year when summer holidays arrive. "Next year I hope to have a different type of business." Hopefully, another ambitious youngster will take up where Jeff left off and continue the ice cream business next summer. Truck Rentals!
