Minnesota Now
Minneapolis weighs permit system for unlicensed fruit vendors

Minnesota Now

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 24, 2024 5:44


By Alfonzo Galvan | Sahan JournalOn a sunny weekend in August, Brittany Rosas homed in her food options near Minnehaha Falls.Several vendors were offering fruit slices with chamoy and tajin, fruit-flavored water and fried wheat pinwheels also known as chicharrones.As Rosas purchased a cup of lemonade for her two kids and a bag of chicharrones, another customer bought a cup of watermelon for $5 from a nearby vendor.The unlicensed vendors were clustered in the high-traffic area near Sea Salt Eatery — and they kept a wary eye out for park police. None wanted to speak on the record.The vendors began appearing at busy parks and highway medians more than a year ago. Efforts by park police and city officials to issue citations only led them to temporarily retreat. Many are asylum-seekers from Ecuador who don't yet have a permit to work legally in the U.S.The city first attempted to address the issue in 2023, according to Minneapolis Health Department spokesperson Scott Wasserman who said they worked with St. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church holding educational classes on how to become a licensed food vendor.But a year later the problem persists.Now two Minneapolis officials are trying another approach. Council Members Jason Chavez and Aurin Chowdhury are developing an ordinance with city staff that would create a license or permit for food vendors to continue selling while being in compliance with city code.“The reality is that right now, folks are not allowed to do it, and they're getting letters saying to stop doing what they're doing,” Chavez said. “And they're being given routes to get permitted, but the permits that exist wouldn't allow them to do what they're doing.”Chavez said unlicensed food vendors can create health risks if fruit and other food isn't properly prepared. He said he is also concerned about the potential of labor abuses or trafficking.“I think a permit can help prevent that, or at least be a part of preventing them from happening,” he said.Several city departments are currently weighing in. Chavez and Chowdhury met with city staff on Friday to determine the proposed ordinance's next steps.After the meeting Chowdhury said an added goal is to create a support system so vendors can access supplies — including carts that store food at the proper temperature — so they can become eligible for a license.In drafting their proposal, the duo said they have to adhere to state laws on food storage and refrigeration.“The hope is next spring, people have a place where they're able to sell and vend freely. They feel supported by our communities, by local government, and we're bringing more people into compliance,” Chowdhury said.For now, an option presented to some vendors in Minneapolis has been to register for the state cottage food producer permit, based on a 2015 state law that allows people to “make and sell certain non-potentially hazardous food and canned goods in Minnesota without a license.”But Chavez said that's a step in the wrong direction.“That isn't going to address the issue. And people might apply, but it isn't actually going to address the root issue that people are struggling with,” Chavez said.A cottage food producer permit could allow vendors to sell homemade baked goods and pickled fruits and vegetables, but it still wouldn't allow them to operate on city sidewalks or in traffic.The issue is one of “equity” according to Chowdhury, who said some vendors don't have the available knowledge or resources because they're still new to the country.Things like licensing or permit fees become barriers for new vendors trying to become compliant.“When it comes to folks that are immigrants, new to our community, that's an incredible barrier. So if we're going to do economic empowerment, that's the barrier that we want to help resolve and so I'm 100% supportive of waiving these fees,” she said.Claudia Lainez, the workers' center director at COPAL, said the nonprofit organization has been monitoring the growth of street vendors across the metro specifically because many of them are undocumented.She said the majority of vendors tend to be women because men, even undocumented, tend to struggle less to find employment. The women have the obstacle of finding child care and that's why street vending is appealing to them.She said access to information in Spanish is a key barrier for those who might want to comply with local rules. “We have had many cases where people ask ‘What can I do?' But no, this information is not accessible in Spanish,” Lainez said.Since the ordinance proposal is still in the early stages, Chavez said there are still many questions.One is whether to establish fixed locations for vendors. Another is how to limit the number of vendors in a given spot.Chavez said some licensed vendors have told his staff that they're losing business due to increased competition. And a major question the council members have addressed is accessibility to information since the vendors are mostly Spanish-speaking.They've said it's important to make the process simple and easy for future vendors, regardless of legal status.Even without documents like Social Security numbers, Chavez said there would be ways for vendors to apply, such as by using an ITIN, or individual taxpayer identification number, which undocumented individuals can use for tax purposes.The IRS website says even undocumented residents are required to file income taxes every year.Chavez said it's crucial to find a solution that protects public health but also acknowledges the pressures that are pushing recent immigrants to sell food in public spaces.“I'll just center the humanity aspect that these people are just trying to make a living,” he said. Many of the vendors are “literally just trying to pay their rent and pay for their life.”Pushback from licensed vendorsThe presence of the vendors has sparked concern and complaints, especially from licensed vendors.At a Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board meeting in early August, Michael Auciello, owner of Brooklyn Mike's Italian Ice cart, said he was tired of “illegal vendors” coming and opening fruit stands and cutting into his revenue. Auciello said he's seen about a 50 percent drop in revenue this year as unlicensed vendors pushed into city parks.“A lot of the food trucks out there and vendors have given up. They're selling their trucks. They don't want nothing to do with this baloney no more,” Auciello said.According to him, vendors have to buy a daily permit to operate at city parks, and some parks only allow up to two permits. The daily permits are $35 on weekdays and $100 on the weekends.But some days this summer the parks he's worked at have had up to five different vendors, even though the cap was two.He's complained to the Minneapolis Park Police and the Park Board with limited success.Chavez said Minneapolis police officers are no longer giving citations to unlicensed vendors.“They give them a paper with resources, because a lot of them also need more support beyond just being able to sell some food on the streets,” he said.Park Police spokeswoman Robin Smothers said they also haven't given out any citations to any unlicensed vendor but clarified that spotted vendors are not allowed to operate uninterrupted.Auciello said he's seen Park Police confront unlicensed vendors but not escort them away.“Dear God, I wish,” Auciello said. “I think it's not fair to the licensed vendors.”An ordinance passed by the city wouldn't automatically affect how parks operate, according to Chavez.“The Park Board has to make their own decisions on if they're going to allow people at their parks but at city streets we can make a program to allow some of these individuals to be able to sell fruit or whatever we decide with these permits,” Chavez said.The Minneapolis Park Board still has final say on who can sell on their property.Currently, only a mobile food vendor licensed with the City of Minneapolis can apply for a daily permit to operate at the parks.On Friday, Chowdhury said there's been ongoing talks with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.“Our biggest goal right now with MPRB is to be proactive and build a really strong partnership and relationship, because at the end of the day, we want the same things. We want people in compliance and able to be entrepreneurs in our city,” she said.

Florida’s Fourth Estate
The sweet success story of Jeremiah's Italian Ice

Florida’s Fourth Estate

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 6, 2024 22:14


The Birth of a Frozen Delight Michael Keller, CEO of Jeremiah's Italian Ice, joined anchors Ginger Gadsden and Matt Austin on Florida's Fourth Estate to share the captivating origin story of this beloved brand. The journey began with Jeremy Litwack, a passionate entrepreneur from South Jersey. Inspired by the classic Italian ice (or “water ice” as it's known in Philly. Please don't try to pronounce “water ice” like they do in Philly. It won't end well for you) of his hometown, Jeremy began experimenting with recipes as early as 1988 while attending the University of Delaware. From Push Cart to Brick-and-Mortar Litwack's dream wasn't just about creating a delicious product; it was about sharing it with the world. He started small, peddling his perfected Italian ice from behind a pushcart, sometimes even on rollerblades. He was a hockey player so he knew what he was doing. The journey led him to Florida, where in 1996, he opened the first Jeremiah's Italian Ice location in Winter Park, Orlando. Growing Pains and Breakthroughs Like many great businesses, Jeremiah's faced its share of struggles. Litwack was bringing a northeastern concept to the sunny state of Florida, and it took time to catch on. Early on, there were quiet days, with few customers and even fewer sales, but Litwack's belief in his product never wavered. He focused on grassroots efforts, building the brand one customer at a time, even going so far as to place coupons on the windshields of cars parked in his lot. What can we say, the guy had an insatiable drive. A Franchise Success Story In 2019, Litwack and his team decided to take Jeremiah's to the next level by franchising. The first franchise locations opened in 2020, and within just a few years, the company expanded to nearly 130 stores across 11 states. The growth has been phenomenal, and the brand shows no signs of slowing down. When Matt Austin Asked the CEO about growing too fast, Keller explained they take great pains to make sure each location lives up to the Jeremiah's promise of quality. A Taste That Stays with You When, FFE host, Ginger Gadsden got to taste Jeremiah's Italian ice during the podcast, she couldn't help but rave about the unique, layered flavors. The blend of Italian ice and custard creates a taste sensation that keeps customers coming back for more. Ginger's reaction was priceless, likening the experience to a wine tasting where the flavors continue to unfold with each bite. The Future of Jeremiah's Italian Ice Looking ahead, Jeremiah's has big plans. With a goal to expand to 300 stores within a few years, the company is poised for continued success. New products and flavors are on the horizon, promising to delight customers in new and exciting ways. A Sweet Legacy Jeremiah's Italian Ice has grown from a single pushcart to a nationwide franchise, all while staying true to its sweet roots. As Michael Keller puts it, the future is bright, with endless possibilities for growth and innovation. Whether you're in Florida or across the country, one thing is clear: Jeremiah's is here to stay, one cup of delicious Italian ice at a time. The original Jeremiah's Italian Ice, which opened in Winter Park, is still open for business and located at 6864 Aloma Ave. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Meet Casey Cooley, Director of Franchise Development of Real Estate at Jeremiah's Italian Ice and President of Pivotal Growth Partners, and Michael Keller, president and CEO of Jeremiah's Italian Ice. Casey is naturally geared to think in terms of effectiveness. His background working with emerging brands taught him the importance of a strong foundation. He believes well thought out systems and processes are literally what result-driven and sustainable franchises are built on. Michael is geared towards the people side of the business. He believes clear values and a team aligned with and committed to those values provide the framework (building blocks) of a successful business. A team with shared values is more synergistic, productive, and professionally fulfilled. Both Michael and Casey are in essence architects, visionaries, and leaders.

We've covered a lot of summer-friendly light drinking beers on the podcast lately, but this one goes right for the freezer aisle. Taking inspiration from a few popular icy treats, this lineup is summer fun in a glass, for the most part, even if said “fun” isn't, like, “beer.” We have two beers inspired by lemon italian ice and two beers (plus a seltzer) mimicking that blue raspberry-white lime-red cherry trio of classic American popsicle. Also, we consider what eating contests we might have an okay shot at to win, there's a new level of cuvée happening, and Ryan's weirdly hung-up on Craig's stubbornness around Mission: Impossible. Just be sure to toss the wooden stick when you're done. Drinks Reviewed Hopewell Brewing Co. - Italian Ice (Citrus Lager w/ Meyer lemon) Old Irving Brewing Co. - Miko's Italian Ice (Sour ale w/ Meyer lemon) Quirk (Boulevard Brewing Co.) - Raspberry Rocket Pop (Hard Seltzer) Brothership Brewing - Plasma Wave: Bombs Away (Fruited sour w/ raspberry, lime, cherry, and lactose) Transient Artisan Ales - Bomb Pop Smolverine (Sour ale w/ blueberry, raspberry, cherry, key lime, vanilla ice cream, and lactose)

Oh my goodness! Todays strain hits as smooth as it sounds. Italian Ice is a Indica leaning Hybrid (60% Indica - 40% Sativa). A slight sweetness is detected and feels incredibly chill as you slip into the best of moods. During this episode we partake of this strain in a wax form that gave us such a tasty array of terps and cannabinoids. So take a chill with us while we power up or electric E rigs and explore Italian Ice. Who knows, this could be your next favorite strain.
