What\u2019s happening<\/p>\n
Alsies<\/a> ice cream is launching a new truck that will serve northern portions of San Antonio beginning March 14, according to a news release.<\/p>\n It\u2019s led by local owners Milton Miranda and Manelys Acosta.<\/p>\n Miranda said in the news release that they had discussed franchising with the company for \u201csome time.\u201d<\/p>\n “We\u2019ve always wanted to build something together outside of medicine,\u201d Miranda said. \u201cOur careers have been focused on serving others, but Alsies felt like an opportunity to create something of our own that also brings joy to families.\u201d<\/p>\n The context<\/p>\n Additionally, another Alsies truck\u2014locally-owned by Steve Johns\u2014opened to the public on March 2 with a ribbon-cutting celebration in the Schertz area, according to previous reporting<\/a> from Community Impact.<\/p>\n The mobile ice cream truck will serve residents throughout Northeast San Antonio, including Schertz, Cibolo, Live Oak and Universal City.<\/p>\n Craving ice cream?<\/p>\n Customers can locate an Alsies truck by using their app, according to the business\u2019s website<\/a>. It will display a truck’s location in real time.<\/p>\n There are also rental options available for private events, parties and weddings; plus customers can recommend new routes for the truck to come through their own neighborhoods.<\/p>\n The menu features a selection of gourmet ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, La Paleta<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a locally owned business, we want this to feel like part of the neighborhood,\u201d Acosta said in the release. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about a truck driving through; it\u2019s school visits, fundraisers and community events. We want to be involved.\u201d<\/p>\n
