The History of The Last Stand
The Last Stand was founded in 1965 by Mr. Johnsons father. It was a small shop, with just a few flavors of ice cream. But it quickly became a popular spot for locals and tourists alike.
In the 1970s, Mr. Johnson took over the business from his father. He expanded the menu to include more flavors of ice cream, as well as sundaes, milkshakes, and floats. He also started hosting ice cream socials and other events.
Under Mr. Johnsons leadership, The Last Stand became a thriving business. It was a place where people could come to enjoy delicious ice cream and create lasting memories.
