Self-serve frozen yogurt bar, Yolickity, now open

Yolickity, a self-serve frozen yogurt store, opened in Webster Plaza this weekend.

The store, which will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Sunday, will be open year-round.

It is owned by Rochester native Brian Mendler, who attended SUNY Fredonia, and Buffalo native Jon Crabbe, now of Victor, and their families. While Yolickity is not the pair's first business venture, it is their first storefront.

Yolickity will have new flavors that will rotate in throughout the year, and will also offer nonfat, low-fat, gluten-free, no-sugar-added, Kosher-certified, and nondairy options.

“Our infatuation with frozen yogurt began about a year ago while on vacation in Florida,” Crabbe said. “A friend suggested we try the new frozen yogurt store instead of our traditional, ‘going out for ice cream,’ and promised, ‘It tastes better than ice cream and is much healthier!’”

Bauman project in Village of Webster may file Chapter 11 bankruptcy

Neil Buaman, owner of Prime restaurant and nearby office and commercial space he has developed in the village of Webster, said this morning that he may be "forced into" filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection later this week due to ongoing disputes with his bank. He said the bank has already foreclosed and the project is "under receivership," but he plans to counter-sue.

Bauman did say he has been working to refinance the project.

"We were in the process of negotiating a new deal," he said this morning.

Bauman did stress that Prime restaurant, 40 E. Main St., Webster, is and will remain open "indefinitely," since it is a separate entity from the rest of the project.

He acknowledged, "We have got an awful situation here ... it's ugly."

Meet Sassy!

Meet Sassy!
Meet Sassy!

Sassy is a 12-year-old beagle who weighs about 30 pounds. She had lived with her family for her whole life until they had to move and couldn’t bring her with them.

Sassy is a sweet and friendly dog who needs a loving home where she can live out her retirement years. She would do best in a household without young children.

Sassy also needs to meet any dogs in the home before adoption.

She is available in the Seniors-for-Seniors program at Lollypop Farm, so adopters age 60 and older can take her home free of charge!

To find out more about Sassy, call 223-1330 or visit Lollypop Farm at 99 Victor Rd., Fairport 14450.

Burt, our "Friday's Friend" from last week, has been adopted.
