The Bay Areas very own Three Twins Ice Cream closed on Friday.
After 15 years, founder and CEO Neal Gottlieb announced he was ceasing operations as of Friday, April 17.
Gottlieb shared the news on Facebook, noting the coronavirus had an effect on the difficult decision. He said business began to be unsustainable and any chance of trying to save it went down the drain because of the pandemic.
He said it is likely that someone may revive the brand in the future, but unsure how likely.
Gottlieb showed his appreciation for all of the support over the years.
One of the best things about being an entrepreneur is the incredible people that you get to work with, he wrote on Facebook. I was very fortunate on this front. We had something truly special here at Three Twins
I have always lived by the philosophy that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. While this is a heartbreaking end to a 15 year (and two day) dream, I feel entirely lucky to have had this opportunity. Thank you for sharing it with me.

Is there where Nancy got her ice cream? Or was it not expensive enough for her?

I hear Pelosi has room in her $12,000 freezer.

The Bay Area, where it’s cool most of the summer, would not seem to be an ideal place to sell ice cream.

Granny Wine Box will send ya over a pint of her personal Jeni's stash, Neal.
Maybe that will help assuage the pain...

He’s got a good reason to move out. His knowhow will be more profitable in any other state.

Nazi Pelosi ordered Jeni’s which is made in Columbus, Ohio.

It’s a lot of money to pay for listeria.

It’s an easy stop-over for her 737 on its weekly run...

Typical hypocrite, she demands people patronize Chinatown during the virus then orders out-of-state ice cream to stock her high-end freezer.

Lex Wexner probably has it shipped to her weekly via one of his private jets.

$6.99 for 1.5 quarts of ice cream.
Thin ice cream, closer to ice milk.
And a ton of sugar to make up for it.

Maybe what she really means to say is “Let them eat Carvel while I eat Cadillac ice cream out of Cartier cones.”

This will be happening, in cities and towns, everywhere...all across the country.
Many smaller restaurants, and specialty food shops, will not be there, when this horrid virus, and the national stay-at-home and closings are over.
Very sad.
