Bob Shank’s mother asked him to help run Shank’s Tavern in Marietta in 1968, which got him involved in the family business and Lancaster County’s oldest tavern established in 1814.
âIt is with heavy yet hopeful hearts that we must announce the closing of our prince street location. It is no secret that 2020 hit hard to small local businesses and Pennyâs was no exception,â the post said.
The Pennyâs kiosk at Park City Center also closed, but the business will continue to operate an ice cream truck and cart in the spring, summer and fall months. Made at a creamery in East Petersburg, Pennyâs ice cream is also sold via a monthly pint subscription service.
Pennyâs is owned by brothers Caleb and Benjamin Kauffman along with their wives, Sarah and Lindsay. It features flavors and recipes from Carmen & Davidâs, an ice cream shop that operated from 2010 until 2016 in downtown Lancaster. Pennyâs bought the Carmen & Davidâs recipes and now sells them as its own brand.
