Ice Cream Shop Struggles After Construction | Durham News

An ice cream spot in downtown Durham, Simons Says Dip, is struggling after construction blocked their storefront for a whole month—costing them $25K in July sales. Founded in 2021, this historic shop relies on summer profits to survive the colder months. They’re raising funds to cover payroll and rent, and so far have raised over $5,300 thanks to loyal customers tipping generously and buying gift cards. If you’re nearby, swing by, bring friends, and grab some dip-topped soft serve—it’s the best way to help a local hero bounce back.
