Near where I live? Yes, they sell the brand at Publix and probably
Wal*Mart. But I'm talking about the ice cream shop. The closest Carvel ice
cream shop is in Mt. Pleasant. That's over 125 miles away. I don't think
I'll be driving that far to get a cone! LOL There is a Friendly's in Port
Royal (someone else mentioned Friendly's).

I had Angel Food. Right out of high school I worked in an ice cream parlor.
The owner also sold (infamous) Dyer's deep fried hamburgers. The original
Dyer's restaurant has moved around a lot. Where I worked was not officially
Dyer's, but the guy had permission from the original owner to sell burgers
made by the same method and use the name Dyer's.

If you've never had a deep fried hamburger, you haven't lived. If you
haven't had a split, deep fried hot dog served on a hamburger bun... well,
never mind. Heheh.
