Maharani Ice Cream

If you walk down Officers Line, you’ll find Maharani Ice Cream sitting at No:1-E. It’s a pretty straightforward place where we spend our days dealing with tubs and cones. We don't have a lot of fancy furniture or decorations because we're more focused on the freezers and making sure they don't stop working. This part of town has its own rhythm, and being on Officers Line means we get a mix of people coming through. Some are in a hurry and others just want to sit for a minute. We’ve been here long enough that the sounds of the street are just background noise to us now. It’s a small shop, maybe a bit cramped when it gets busy, but it works for what we do. We do our own cleaning and stock counting every night after we close the shutters. It’s not the kind of job where you sit at a desk. Your hands are always cold and you’re always moving something around. Sometimes the lights flicker when the neighbor turns on their equipment, but we just keep going. We know most of the people who walk past our door every day. It’s a bit of a quiet existence, but it’s honest work. We don't put much stock in being the biggest or anything. We just like being the spot where you can get something cold when the sun is beating down on the street.
