Company Profile
Fundae Sundaes is an exciting, family-owned and operated business that features creative homemade ice cream flavors and other frozen treats. Using only local, fresh ingredients, owners, Tim and Tara Flaherty, began their business by selling ice cream on weekends out of a mobile pushcart in a beach community in Suffolk County, New York. They branched out by opening a store front shop in a busy college town on the outskirts of New York City, and it is now a full-time operation.
As business owners, Tim and Tara know how important professional and effective written communication is to their business. From the ‘Cozy Cones’ complaint letter, to the ‘Freezer Heads’ contest flyer, you will test your word processing skills through this series of fun and interesting projects.
