    I wish them luck, but holy cow. How many different ice cream/snow cone/ Italian ice places have to fail before people realize it's a bad location? Pelicans has lines 10 people deep there all summer. If they didn't make it, I'm afraid a similar business will suffer the same fate.

    Whether it's lease issues, profit/loss, sickness or whatever, none of those businesses are there any longer. Opening for a year or two then inexplicably closing is a pretty good indication that they weren't making it. I suppose they could have made so much money in the year or two they were open that they retired, but I doubt it.

    I really hope it succeeds, we need such a place. But that location seems cursed.

    Yes sir - if you or someone you know is part of it then I hope even more that it makes it. You'll get all of our snowcone, icy treat business.

    Don't know what CSR is, but we're talking about the one in Clayton, near Smithfield Bar-B-Q.

    Cleveland School Road? That's Pelicans. The place we are referring to was the Pelicans in Clayton for the last couple of years.

    Which I was really sad that they are not there any more. We went there all the time.

    I have seen the long lines there and never understood it. I have never thought that crushed ice with sticky sweet syrup was anything special. It's just ice ...and syrup. I will take a soft ice cream or frozen yogurt over that any day!

    New frozen yogurt place, where Pauper's Books used to be, to the right of McKinley's.

    LOVE Pelicans and the one on Cleveland School Road is closer to me than Clayton. And we hit the one in Garner too from time to time. I am excited about Fro-Yo in Clayton!! Can't wait. I love frozen yogurt!

    The owner of Froyo101 said they are just waiting for the final inspection to be done, then they can open. :hurray:
