Dear Lix Junkies,

I’d like to kick off this month’s newsletter by expressing my thanks to all of you, here and in Japan, for making this year’s inaugural Annual Opening Day ‘Free Ice Cream Celebration’ a huge success. We gave away literally thousands of heaping scoops of ice cream to our raving, craving neighbors and Sox fans, all over this fair city of ours. It was a lot of fun for you and us! And a proverbial “shout-out” to Sarah Bussone for winning the ‘Sox Lix Tix’ Sweepstakes. Sarah won the grand prize pair of tickets to a future Red Sox game and a full summer’s supply of J.P. Licks ice cream.

Free Coffee Day

If you were not able to make it on free ice cream day, don’t give up hope. We are officially announcing ‘Wake up and Smell the FREE Coffee DAY’. On May 17th, visit one of our 7 million locations and receive a free medium cup of our home roasted coffee. And because we don't know if it will be 40 or 80 degrees on May 17, you choose... hot or iced coffee.

WBZ A-List
You subscribe to our monthly rants because you think we have the best ice cream, right? Well, make your vote count and enlighten others! (by the way, the folks at WBZ are doing this voting, pretty fair and square… unlike Citysearch’s “Best of Boston”, one person can’t vote a million times and fix the vote!)

Please visit the WBZ-TV website and cast your vote for your favorite ice cream shop in their “A-List” program. Click here to vote!

Remember, we have your taste in mind so please send along comments and suggestions to comments@jplicks.com. You can help us improve our business. If we use your suggestions, we will give you a $25 gift card to the ice cream shop of your choice.

As always, thank you for your support and loyalty.
