Leeds ice cream fans and Roundhay locals alike have shared their sadness as the family behind the long-standing Mr Whippy vans have announced they are downsizing the business.
Mr Whippy Leeds have been in operation since 1962 and have a number of vans across the city operated by Ian Smith and his team. Now the family, with three generations working in the business, have decided to cut back the operation and take things 'a little easier'.
The team have confirmed the last vans will leave Roundhay Park at the end of March. The remainder of the business in events and weddings will continue as normal.
