WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — After serving as a cherished destination for ice cream and coffee enthusiasts, Churn & Burn, located at Kellogg and Oliver in Wichita, has bid farewell. The closure was announced by the shop’s owners via a heartfelt message shared on their Facebook page Thursday morning.
In the message, the owners expressed mixed emotions, citing family considerations as the primary reason behind the closure. They conveyed gratitude for the opportunity to serve the community, likening the shop to a second home. However, they emphasized that family time, particularly with their child, takes precedence over business endeavors.
Initially, the shop closed at the end of December for renovations with promises of exciting changes. However, despite anticipation, no reopening date was confirmed, leading to speculation among patrons. The owners revealed that they have been focusing on remodeling a cabin at a lake, intending to cherish precious moments together as a family.
Expressing appreciation for the loyal support from the Wichita community, the owners extended an invitation for anyone interested in continuing the ice cream legacy by taking over the furnished shop. They concluded their message with a poignant reminder to seize every moment, reflecting on the fleeting nature of time.
As Churn & Burn bids farewell, its legacy of warm hospitality and delectable treats will be fondly remembered by patrons old and new alike.
