The long-awaited reopening of Lighthouse Ice Cream store in Ocean Beach took place on Saturday, May 10. Owner Carol Ladiges opened the doors for the first time since a fire two years ago damaged the iconic shop.
“I’m more excited for the community than I am for myself,” said Ladiges. “OB is such a great place; I’ve made so many lifelong friends here. We’ve served generations of families here. Honestly, it’s their support that’s kept me going through some very hard times.”
Former OB residents Ivy and Susan Rackley made a special trip from their home in Iowa to support their friend Carol for her ribbon-cutting ceremony.
“We’re old friends of Carol and Dick,” said Ivy. “We are so happy for Carol, and her new ice cream shop looks fantastic. I know how difficult it has been for Carol, this opening required so much time and work to restore the Lighthouse. We are all so very proud of Carol,” said Susan.
