LANSING, Ill. (May 19, 2023) – Traveling around Wisconsin — America’s Dairyland — it’s easy to find ice cream. It is not easy, however, to find Journal Java Chip ice cream. So some improvisation was required.

Available only in Lansing

Here in Lansing there is no shortage of Journal Java Chip ice cream! It’s available at Gayety’s (3306 Ridge Road), and for every Journal Java Chip purchase Gayety’s will donate a portion of the proceeds to The Lansing Journal. It’s a delicious way to support two local businesses.
