It looks like Monrovia is getting one more new thing in town, Sandy’s Sundae Shoppe. When in Monrovia, you may notice the brightly colored house located on Chestnut Street. That will soon be an ice cream parlor.

Sandy’s Sundae Shoppe was created in honor of Sandra (Sandy) Toner, who passed away from breast cancer in 2010. Sandy and her family used to visit an ice cream shop in New York while Sandy was being treated. “Whenever visiting, it was a rule that Sandy would take the grandchildren for ice cream,” said Sandy's daughter. During the tougher times of Sandy’s battle, the trips became more uplifting. Sandy would always order a sundae (Sandy’s Sundae) while spending time with her family. Sandy always said, “It’s like creating a memory for me with every lick they take.”

“It is a blessing that we have been able to put God's purpose into action.  We are bringing the best premium ice cream made from Upstate New York's local family-owned dairy farms to the Hoosier State, Indiana,” the owners report. “It's not just about ice cream.  It's about bringing a rich goodness with family ties that run deep.  It's about making memories...  one lick at a time!”
