The New Ice Cream Man in Town

George Tsakirgis of Georgie's Ice Cream Events is a go-getter. He's a 21 year old college student and Lynnfield resident working his way through the University of Rhode Island and continuing the Tsakirgis family tradition of owning and operating their own businesses.

“My mother, Julie, owns and works for the local REMAX real estate agency and my aunt and uncle own Artichokes over in Wakefield, so working for yourself runs in the family,” explains George.

George needed a way to make some extra money to help him make ends meet while studying business and economics at URI.

“It all started last year when my mother and I came across an ice cream truck for sale,” details George. “I had enough to eventually buy one and it looked like a fun job.”

From here, George began gathering other necessary materials and a few more karts to bring his small army of mobile food stands up to: two ice cream trucks, two sausage stands and two slush karts.

George expects this summer to be his break out year, expanding his territory to cover Lynnfield, Lynn, Wakefield, Saugus and North Reading.

“It's been a slow start because of the weather, but once the weather breaks and we get some sun, I'm expecting it to really pick up,” mentions George.

So, next time you're out at that baseball game or simply enjoying the day around town, if you hear that familiar jingle, expect a pleasant young man named George to be the one dishing out the hot or cold summer time treats with speed and a smile.

George is also looking to recruit a few dedicated individuals to add to his growing mobile foods team.

“You have to be outgoing, energetic and like to have fun with kids,” says George, describing the best fit for working his food stands.
