WINCHESTER — A Winchester sweets shop has a lot of sugar, and not just in its menu items.
Co-owners Jodi and Corey Brown and Krista and Abe Kunz opened 7 Sweets and a Sour at 27 S. Main St. as a way to keep their kids occupied during the summer, they said.
The shop, which opened earlier this month, expands on The Shaved Ice Shack they opened last summer, with an expanded menu and a new location.
“We added ice cream and lemonade shakeups,” Jodi Brown said.
The shop also is getting another ice cream machine to increase its ice cream offerings.
Jodi Brown and Krista Kunz open the shop together each day and have seven of the two families’ eight kids rotate work shifts while working around their own schedules. It’s a good way to make and save money for the kids, they said.
“We just wanted them to have a job where they worked to earn money that we don’t just give them all the time but yet worked with their busy schedules,” Jodi Brown said.
The kids who work in the shop range in age from 14 to 19. They help the shop thrive, taking orders and making the sweet treats for customers who stop by.
The name of the shop is a play on how many kids they have.
“We have eight kids all together and one of them is a boy, so he’s the sour,” Brown joked. “But we don’t tell him that … we say any of our kids could become the sour at any day. That’s what inspired the name.”
Items the shop sells range from shaved ice and lemonade shakeups to milk shakes, ice cream cones and sundaes. The menu also includes what they call a “brain freeze,” a soft-serve ice cream with toppings such as candy bar bits or brownies mixed in.
“Just about anything you can come and ask for,” Jodi Brown said.
Ice cream flavors now are limited to chocolate and vanilla but the selection could grow with the menu, she said.
The shaved ice that was the cornerstone of their previous business remains popular at the new shop, they said.
“We definitely learn better customer service,” said Bell Brown, one of the kids who work in the shop. “You can’t leave people waiting outside.”
The shop currently is open only during the summer, from 2 to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
