This Frozen Yogurt Shop is Bringing the Titanic Back to Life

From Biotech to Frozen Yogurt

It all started during the pandemic. Ken, who was working a successful career in Biotech decided it was time for a change. An opportunity presented itself where the local Frozen Yogurt shop where Ken’s children worked needed a new owner. The opportunity to be able to work with his family was exactly what Ken was looking for.

  Ken describes his first six months as the proud new owner of Top It as a learning experience. But while trying to understand the market and his customers he quickly realized that he had to make some changes to align the shop with his own personal values and vision.

Going Green and Making Toppings

The first change Ken made was going eco-friendly. He switched over to compostable cups, wooden spoons and started using a local composting service for their take out. He also began serving dine-in customers with washable metal bowls – which in Ken's opinion doesn’t just reduce waste, but also is the best way to eat a frozen dessert.

Next, Ken started looking at the ingredients in his toppings and wasn’t impressed. Instead of just switching suppliers he decided to start making them from scratch. From brownies to marshmallows more than half of Top It’s 50 toppings are homemade fresh – and they are a huge hit with customers!

The hallmark of the Titanic theme is the Big Piece, a 1:1 replica of the largest segment of the Titanic’s hull that has been recovered. This 20 ft x 26 ft reconstruction will be incredibly accurate. Ken has even had the original company that made the Titanic’s portholes in 1910 create perfect reproductions for his model.
