"Ample Hills, the Brooklyn-based ice cream chain that went from beloved to bankrupt in a little over a decade, will reopen under its original owners this week. The ice cream shop declared bankruptcy last year with 14 locations in New York City, including a giant Red Hook production facility that cost nearly $7 million to build, and was purchased by Schmitt Industries, a machine parts company in Oregon, for $1 million. Schmitt couldn’t turn things around, and last month, the chain’s founders, Brian Smith and Jackie Cuscuna, purchased the brand back for $150,000, the New York Times reports. The couple will reopen their original scoop shop, in Prospect Heights, on Wednesday, followed by three more locations in New York City this summer." - Luke Fortney
