The Winkler family owns two Brothers Ice Cream factories - one in California and one in Wisconsin. If the family owns any individual dessert outlets, they're not mentioned in the company's website.
Last week, Memphis developer John Elkington posted on social media: Recruiting Gary Winkler of California based Brothers Desserts and his sons Josh and Adam to Sheffield. There was no mention of Inspiration Landing in the brief update.
The Winkler family's main factory was established in California around 50 years ago. The Winsconsin factory was purchased in 2020. Would the Winklers have any desire to own a start-up plant in Sheffield?
We hope the Winklers enjoyed their stay in Sheffield. We have no idea what precipitated their visit, but we're not betting the farm that it was to scout locations for a third factory.
We're giving Mr. Elkington an A- for his recruiting efforts. For his actual building accomplishments? We'll be kind and give him a D-.

This is Arvin. He's a year-old German Shepherd mix and ready for adventure with a family of his own. You can find Arvin at the Florence shelter in the industrial park:
With our streets overgrown with trees and brush, and lined with mounds of rotting debris, garbage and derelict cars, it's going to be a tough sell.
