Several customers and residents have expressed concerns that Poynton Whippy will "push out" the long serving trader (Russ) so the Whippy team would like to reassure everyone this is not the case. (Especially as he has now gone to Australia) reportedly for six months.
There is enough trade in Poynton to support 2 ice cream vans. Also it is about choice, Russ sells hard Ice Cream, and although the Whippy van could carry this, untill and unless Russ decides to "hang up his cornets" we will not be selling hard Ice Cream.
A typical example came at weekend when Mr Whippy served two 99's to some children whilst mum wanted a hard Ice Cream. It was amicably agreed mum would wait for Russ who was due later that day.
You now have a "choice" it is a bit like having an Indian take away on Tuesday and a Chinese on Friday. We both stock different products and try to visit at different times and days of the week.
There will be some initial crossover when we are in the same locality at the same time, but hopefully that will improve throughout the summer.
