Good news for lovers of Lulabelle's Sweet Shop, Cheesemonster, and local grocery shopping

Lulabelle’s Sweet Shop, the ever-popular ice cream destination on Upshur Street, is set to reopen for in-store shopping on Tuesday, June 8th. When COVID-19 restrictions hit, Lulabelle’s pivoted to offering grocery shopping and other necessities. The line down the block every Saturday told the story of residents who wanted easy access to quality foods, including ice cream and bagels.

Now the sweet shop is reopening on June 8th, but now with new options including grocery shopping, Cheesemonster platters, deli meats from Cinder BBQ and JDM Sandwiches, and more.

Upshur's 'veteran,' Julie Wineinger, is learning to juggle everything on the road to success

I walked into Lulabelle’s Sweet Shop on a sunny Friday afternoon to interview owner Julie Wineinger about what it’s like to be a woman business owner. Before I could even sit down, the scene before me spoke volumes: there was Julie, one hand on her laptop, fielding questions from her staff behind the counter while discreetly nursing her five-week-old son inside a cloth carrier.
