Howdy Homemade From Texas Ya'll!

Okay, maybe I put the Texas accent on a little thick ya'll, but I am so excited to tell you about one of my latest finds for sweet treats in the Dallas area. I know, I know, everyone is probably on a health kick at this time of the year. However, we're nearly a month post New Year's resolutions, and there should be some allowances for making a trip to the Howdy Homemade ice-cream shop, right? I mean, who doesn't like ice cream?!?! And when you combine a love for ice cream with an ability to help individuals and families meet personal goals it's a win-win situation. That is what Howdy Homemade has done for individuals and families within its' community.

But before I get too far ahead of myself, let me tell you how I initially heard about Howdy Homemade.

As anyone who lives in Texas knows, we have been experiencing colder than normal temperatures during this winter season. In saying that, I have had no desire to eat anything cold, especially ice cream. However, one Sunday morning while huddled in my home due to "icy road conditions", I was watching the local news, which featured a story on Howdy Homemade that warmed my heart, even if not all the way down to my toes. The story highlighted Howdy Homemade as being opened by a local businessman who experienced difficulty retaining employees in his restaurants. Furthermore, he demonstrated a deep concern for individuals presenting with various physical and learning abilities. As a result, he decided to open an ice cream shop in which he would employ individuals presenting with physical and intellectual differences. He took his plan to various investors with their exhibiting little interest in supporting his idea, so he decided to launch his plan on his own. And guess what? It was a success, and continues to be so as evidenced by his employee retention rate - 100% over the past two years, and another location opening in Utah. However, don't just take my word for it, read more about this developing company by following this Source Link. Also, you can follow the link to a videoed interview by clicking the play button on the last picture to the right.

And now that it's warming up outside, I'm going to make a trip to Dallas for some Howdy Homemade ice cream! If you go, snap a pic and add it to the comments section. I would love for you to share your experience about Howdy Homemade with me!
