PNC Brands Group shuts down Ice Cream Factory operations in Lebanon
What happened
Gail Kurpgeweit, CEO of Ice Cream Factory, announced the company is closing its doors, stating the brand is "dead". After PNC Brands Group acquired a controlling interest last year, the company faced challenges, and investors ultimately decided to cease operations. Part of the manufacturing complex is scheduled to be auctioned next week.
