A young entrepreneur from Cache Valley is making waves in the local food industry with the launch of Double Drizzle, an innovative ice cream brand. At just 15 years old, Alex Thompson has cultivated a passion for creating unique ice cream flavors that appeal to a wide audience. This entrepreneurial venture, which officially kicked off last month, promises to provide both quality and creativity in the frozen dessert market. Thompson, a high school sophomore, began his journey into ice cream making after discovering a family recipe that piqued his interest. With encouragement from his parents and support from local mentors, he decided to take his passion to the next level. The initial batch of Double Drizzle ice cream includes striking flavors such as salted caramel swirl and raspberry chocolate fudge, both of which have already garnered positive feedback from early tasters. The launch event for Double Drizzle attracted a large crowd, with community members eager to sample this new local product. Held at the Cache Valley Community Center, the ice cream debut showcased not only the flavors but also how the brand represents local ingredients and sustainability. Thompson emphasized the importance of using locally sourced dairy and produce, which he believes enhances both the flavor and appeal of his products. In addition to producing ice cream, Thompson has highlighted his commitment to community engagement. For every pint sold, a portion of the profits will be donated to local charities focused on youth education and nutrition. This initiative aligns with his vision of using his business not only as a platform for innovation but also as a means to give back to the community. As Thompson continues to grow the Double Drizzle brand, he plans to expand his product line with seasonal flavors. His goal is to establish a presence at local farmers' markets and eventually secure retail distribution in community stores. With a clear vision and support from the local community, Alex Thompson’s Double Drizzle is poised for success in the competitive ice cream market, promising a fresh approach to a beloved dessert. Thompson's venture highlights the potential of youth entrepreneurship and the impact that innovative thinking can have in traditional markets. As he navigates the challenges of running a small business, the story of Double Drizzle serves as an inspiration for other young entrepreneurs in Cache Valley and beyond.
