About Us
When former teachers, Fareed and Jennifer Al-Abboud, decided to cash in their retirement funds to open a gelato business, they had no idea how unique their concept would be, nor how bumpy the ride. The Scoop on Mom and Pop: Memoir of a Small Businesswoman recounts the couple’s tumultuous journey that landed them in seven locations over an 11-year period, including Canada, during a failed emigration attempt. It is a tale of two misfits searching for connection, belonging and purpose amidst transitions, COVID and political upheaval – a story of two from the perspective of one.
“The Scoop” offers a real-time account of what it takes to defy the culinary odds in a country that too rarely demands it.”
