The Opening of Gourmet Glace

Opening a specialty restaurant can be expensive and adventurous. Join us in the experience and help us become successful. (This is going to be one big adventure).

Product: First things first, deciding what to sell: Gourmet popsicles are making their way as the newest food rage. You can see evidence of that in just about every magazine you pick up, on food shows on television and of course all over the internet. They are fun, creative, and in most cases, a healthy option to some of the overly sweetened, processed frozen treats that have been making the scene for years. Ok that's it gourmet popsicles. So now that the product is decided lets come up with a name.

Choosing The Name; We put our heads together and came up with a few winners; Gourmet Ice, (my idea) Popsicle Heaven, Nice Ice, (another one of my brilliant ideas), Sweet Treats, Pop Goes The Sicle (love it too bad we couldn't use it), Ice Pop Palace, and Gourmet Glace (my husbands idea and no he's not French). Since the word sicle has a patent on it that narrowed it down a bit. We wanted the name to reflect our quality of food so we settled on Gourmet Glace. I predict everyone will call us GG's

Definition: gourmet/ˈguɚˌmeɪ, guɚˈmeɪ/noun plural gourmets [count] : a person who enjoys and knows a lot about good food and wine gourmet meal [=a meal of very high quality; a meal that appeals to gourmets]▪ gourmet foods▪

Glace /glas/ n. ice or ice cream

Quality: Only the best will do!!! We will purchase locally such as fruit and honey from the farmer’s markets we attend, and then we will condense it into the form of a simple and nostalgic summertime staple. Free of added preservatives, artificial coloring or flavors—they will prove to be quite a healthy treat. The best part is that all GG bars can be customized with a variety of fun toppings!

Let's get started: Help us come up with some unique flavor combinations. This is going to take some time. The Science behind Gourmet Glace is just trial and error. We are still waiting for our molds to get here so in the meantime we will be making our GG bars in ice cube trays.
