King Cone – After a trip back home to Denmark where waffle cones the lack there of in Vancouver really stood out. The founder was able to bring together aspects of a previous business (see Bakery in Kitimat) and his experience as a machinist to build the foundation for this new business venture.
With a store front lined up at 41st and Granville, father and son began converting the old hair salon into an ice cream parlour. Jens, son of Erik, partnered in and dedicated his time and energy to not just build but also run family shop alongside his father. It wasn’t without artistic touches from Jens’ high school friend and extra helping hands from his girlfriend, Ellen and sisters Lene and Lili that grand opening was a success and the scooping days carried forward.
With another new machine and another generation invested in the company, the, daughter of Jens and Ellen continues to write the story, operate the machines, and provide the service and hard work that this company was built on.
