Business Spotlight: A Sweet Dream Realized In Saegertown
There’s something magical about a hometown ice cream stand—the kind of place that holds first dates, post-game celebrations, and summer night traditions. For Joe and Cami Egli, that magic became much more than a memory—it became a dream come true.
In the summer of 2024, mid-season and with hearts full of hope, Joe and Cami officially became the new owners of the beloved ice cream spot in Saegertown they once visited as young sweethearts. “We used to go on dates here,” they shared. “Owning it has always been a dream of ours. Here’s to never giving up on a dream.”
Today, that dream is alive and well, scooping up memories for a whole new generation of families, friends, and first loves. Under Joe and Cami’s care, the ice cream stand has kept its classic charm while expanding its menu to offer something for everyone. Whether you’re craving a swirl of soft serve, a rich milkshake, a towering sundae, or a specialty flurry packed with your favorite mix-ins, you’re sure to leave with a smile (and maybe a little ice cream on your nose). For those looking for something savory, the full food menu includes made-to-order baskets, sandwiches, appetizers, and rotating daily specials. Their homemade chili and coleslaw have already earned a loyal fanbase.
The Eglis’ passion goes far beyond just great food. They’ve embraced their role as community cheerleaders, investing in Saegertown with open arms. In less than a year, they’ve supported softball teams, participated in trunk-or-treat events, donated to several causes, and backed the Saegertown Cash Bash. This summer, they hope to kick off a community can drive, and their occasional BBQ nights are quickly becoming one of the town’s most looked-forward-to traditions.
What makes their story even sweeter is the way it all feels full-circle. From teen dates under the glow of the order window to now owning that very spot—Joe and Cami are a living reminder that some dreams are worth waiting for. And while the menu may be filled with cold treats, it’s clear that what they’re serving up most of all is warmth, kindness, and a whole lot of community pride.
So next time you’re nearby, swing by, grab a cone or a basket, and take a moment to soak in the smalltown magic—because at this special corner of Saegertown, dreams really do come true.
