Sherman's Dairy Bar to Close in October

Sherman's Dairy Bar, a beloved ice cream shop in South Haven, Michigan, will close on October 26 after 66 years of operation. Known for its diverse flavors and as a summer tradition for many locals, the shop started as a dairy and milk delivery service in 1916 before shifting to ice cream in the 1950s. The announcement of the closure has sparked nostalgia and sadness among the community, with many sharing fond memories of their experiences at Sherman's. Meanwhile, in Fort Worth, Texas, the Melt Ice Cream chain is closing its downtown Sundance Square location on September 8 but plans to open a new spot in Willow Park while maintaining other locations in the area. Both closures highlight the challenges faced by long-standing local businesses, as communities grapple with the loss of these cherished establishments.
