Comings and Goings
MOVED
Howdy Homemade
12300 Inwood Road
The ice cream shop has been employing people with special needs and serving up treats at 4333 Lovers Lane since 2015, but moved recently to save on rent during the pandemic.
“We’ve had just a great business there. I think it’s so romantic to be on Lovers Lane on the Miracle Mile,” Owner Tom Landis said. “When COVID hit, many of our employees have compromised immune systems, and so we shut down. We shut down through a lot of the summer.”
Jaxie Alt set up a GoFundMe page with a goal to raise $75,000.
Landis describes her as a “super great Highland Park mom who also championed us at Dr. Pepper five years ago” after he had invented a Dr. Pepper ice cream the shop wanted to sell.
“She’s really helped put Howdy together as a business,” he said, adding that she recently said, “’Hey, we should do this GoFundMe and help make it through these tough times.’”
“I’m stunned at the response, at the support. It’s just incredible,” Landis said, adding he hopes to get an ice cream truck to make the shop’s treats mobile.
CLOSED
BAKED/Creme de la Cookie
Snider Plaza
The bakery opened in 2008, and, while the COVID-19 pandemic led to the
closure of the storefront this summer, customers can still order cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and more for delivery. Order online at www.bakedindallas.com.
“We are hoping that in the future, we will be able to safely welcome you into a new bakery storefront of our own. But for now, we want to make sure you are covered for birthdays, the holidays, or even just a Friday!” the website reads.
