Sweet P's Ice Cream & Candies, Inc. Sweet P's Ice Cream & Candies, Inc, is a Minnesota S Corporation, seeking to provide the residence of Elk River, and people passing through Elk River, an opportunity to step back in time and enjoy homemade ice cream, taffy and nostalgic candies. Owners Tim and Brenda Jeanetta have always enjoyed working with the public and welcome the opportunity to provide historic downtown Elk River with such a facility, as well as working with the youth in the community in creating jobs and teaching good work ethics. Tim and Brenda Jeanetta are proposing to use the pre-existing building located at 707 Main Street in historic downtown Elk River to create Sweet Ps Ice Cream & Candies. They have negotiated a two year lease through Holton Investment Corporations and have an additional three year option attached to the lease. Store hours will be broken down into two seasons with the peak season including March 15 through October 31 S'. Hours during the peak season are 11 am to 9pm daily. Off peak hours of November through February are 4pm - 8pm daily. Due to the fluctuation in store hours, the number of persons employed will range from 12 employees during the peak season to four employees during the off season. Parking slots available consist of parking in front of the establishment and a large parking lot in the rear of the business. This large amount of parking will accommodate special events and after-sports peak sales. Sweet Ps Ice Cream & Candies is currently in the application process for funds from the City of Elk River's Micro Economic Development Funding for equipment purchases and revitalization of the exterior of the building (to include painting of the exterior, and awnings in the rear of the building). Due to the pre- existing condition of the building, no building supplies will be necessary for this project, and the interior of the building will be used as-is. Sweet P's Ice Cream & Candies will acquire two wooden signs that will comply with the City of Elk River's sign permit regulations. One of the signs will be situated in the front of the building, replacing the current store sign. The second sign will be placed in the rear of the store replacing the existing sign. (Bead Bag). Sweet P's Ice Cream & Candies does not require any outdoor storage.
