Gelato lovers in Canberra, rejoice! Spilt Milk gelato bar in Dickson is up for a name change, and you could be the hero of the story. But here's where it gets interesting: it's not just about a new name; it's about a mission to bring the community together and spread happiness. Spilt Milk's owner, Omer Siddiq, bought the business in 2023 with a simple love for gelato, but he quickly realized it was more than just a dessert; it was about selling happiness and smiles. And that's where you come in! Omer wants your help to rename Spilt Milk, and the best part? The winner gets a year's supply of gelato! Yes, you heard that right! But there's more to this story than just free gelato. Omer has been giving back to the community, donating ice cream to school events, raising funds for local charities, and collaborating with small businesses. Now, he wants to solidify Spilt Milk's place in the community with a new brand that reflects these changes. The Dickson store is independently owned and operated from the original Spilt Milk in Orange, NSW, and it's a favorite after-work spot for locals. But here's the catch: the current name might be causing some confusion with a popular music festival of the same name. So, Canberrans, it's your chance to shine! Comment your ideas for a new name on Spilt Milk's Instagram post by February 13th, and you might just become the hero of the story. The team will be taking note of all the suggestions, and Omer will choose the one he thinks best suits the community vision. Imagine the satisfaction of saying, 'I named that store!' And get this: the winner will receive a 1.5-litre tub of gelato for free, every week for a year! That's right, 15 scoops a week! Omer's mission is to create a gelato bar that's not just about the product but about the experience and the community. He plans to work more closely with local bakeries and suppliers, ensuring the gelato is fresh and delicious. So, get your creative juices flowing, and let's see what you can come up with! Spilt Milk is located at Unit 70/2 Cape St, Dickson. Follow them on Instagram and share your ideas. Never miss out on the local news and views that matter.
