			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">What a winter we have had this year! It&#8217;s either been the worst or the best, depending on your perspective. We hope that the warmer than usual weather has helped business for everyone.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">The weather will be turning even warmer, though, which means cold drinks like iced espresso drinks, cold press coffee, smoothies, frappes, iced tea, and lemonade are going to really start picking up. It also means that those of you that are making gelato will start to see some serious sales increases.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">We have used this winter to make some serious improvements around here with a focus to better serve you, and want to let you all know again how much we appreciate your business!</p>
