Many Village residents did not even know where it was located, despite being golf cart accessible. Not enough business and rent too high. Add to that, the fact that you can pick up a Carvel Ice Cream Cake from other area grocery stores. Lastly, in a tough economy, I guess Ice Cream is not considered a necessity.
I guess location is always a factor. The ice cream cakes from the grocery store come from Baltimore, MD and they have a long shelf life in the store. At a Carvel Ice Cream store they are made fresh to order. A northerner Carvel customer knows a fresh cake!!

Thanks for everyones input.
