Kilwins

While doing laundry next door, I needed a milkshake, and thought this looked like a good a spot as any… whelp!!! $14 WHOLE DOLLARS LATER, I will not be returning. While perhaps a “locally owned” franchise, the Precious $$$$ ice cream isn’t even made in illinoise so miss me with that. Subsidize WI or MI cows that don’t even pay IL taxes on their feed and antibiotics!!! The ‘nawlins pralines etc ice cream was delish choice, and the cherry on top was as generic red dyed as everrrr. Maybe they need to look at their cogs a bit closer to see what they can do to make a more reasonable price point. I was at oberweis not too long ago, and THAT shake “only” cost me $11, which I was slightly shocked about at the time. The girl behind the counter was v nice and the store was full of stuff. But I knew I was in big trouble when I asked her (before my total) how much the little bag of saltwater taffy was going for… and she said $13-something!!! Whew!!!! If I had a wig on, it would’ve blown right off!!! Good luck, kilwins!!! Idk how you’re gonna survive the next few yrs! Maybe consult w the biz folks across the street at the Polsky center #yourewelcome #thankyounext ALSO!!! That mint choc chip is ***fluorescent*** green, so plz don’t tell me we’re running an “all natural” operation up in here (on top of the red 40 cherries >><<)

I went to this location on 7/22/2022. I saw on the news that they were reopening and I had to make a visit. Not to mention that they are also black owned. When I first arrived the presentation was on point. The smell that hits your nose when you first walk in is to die for. They were super friendly and welcoming from the time I came and left. I loved my shake and I will be coming back.
