Jimeoin opening The Portas
At The Daily Scoop we have started the new theme for the month of March in anticipation of the event we’ve been all waiting for – The Wodonga Carnivale – this year the theme is Bizarre! Children from schools around Wodonga are preparing great exhibition of art in the High Grove park under the Water Tower, which you can already see as part of Todos Arte project run by Art Space and Wodonga City Council.

One of the entertainers will be Jugularity
We really have been hit with a hot Australian weather this summer… People are often commenting how good that must be for an ice cream business. Well – not all that much! Spare athought for this poor ice cream van:

Too hot for ice cream
Thank you to all who remembered that they first found their way to our delicious ice cream last year… and asking us when exactly did we open! Well – our 1st birthday is approaching fast. Keep your eyes open for the announcement of the BIG DAY and some special surprises!
After we closed due to bad weather on Saturday some customers have asked us “Why do we close on rainy days?” The simple answer is “we cannot sell enough ice cream…”
We had closed last Saturday and left a sign on the door which read “Closed due to bad weather.” We assess the weather every morning – being especialy cautious if it looks cold and overcast. Rainy, windy and cold days are not good for our sales, people like to walk around with a cone of delicious ice cream when it’s nice and sunny. If we believe the weather will be fine for at least good part of the day we make a batch of ice cream, sometimes we reduce the size and number of flavours. We open at 11Am every day, and by that time it is a bit clearer what the weather is going to be like. However, if the wind or rain picks up, and it remains cold we close the shop for the day. Our estimate of how much is going to be sold is sometimes accurate, sometimes we are left with a lot of unsold ice cream
At The Daily Scoop we always look for ways to please our customers with new flavours. After all – new experiences make our life exciting..! So we now have another new flavour to offer – mocha, which is a blend of two of our very popular flavours – chocolate and coffee.
At The Daily Scoop we are very keen to reward our customers loyalty with a reward. We have a card which allows you to collect a free ice cream after seven purchases. Please ask for one – when the shop is busy we sometimes forget to offer you one… Those that fill the card will get a free single scooop of ice cream - and as an added bonus when you redeem the card we put it into a barrel for a monthly draw of a take home pack of our delicious ice cream! We already had two winners, it was Giselle for the month of September, and tom for the month of October. Try to get into the next draw by filling your card in by end of November!

Daily Scoop Open for New Season
This Friday 12 September 2008 we will be opening our second summer season. We decided to continue with the tradition of cooking fresh delicious ice cream every day using traditional European recipe. Our ice cream is made using the best local ingredients, and we pride ourselves on trying to please even the most discerning gourmet customers.
We will be launching several new products this season and welcome your feedback and suggestions! We will also introduce new staff members which we hope will contribute to our customer service reputation.
