Hearing the sound of the ice cream truck drive by is enough to bring out the kid in all of us.
But rising inflation rates and gas prices aren't making costs for ice cream truck owners so sweet.
Kaci Pemberton, owner of Roscoe's Ice Cream, said those trips through the neighborhood are becoming more and more uncommon this summer.
"We have not hit the streets as much," Pemberton said. "We've just have been doing events and going to schools. I’ve been doing it all in one day versus doing it three or four days a week.”
Pemberton says it costs her nearly 120 dollars to fill up just half of her truck.
Combine that with supply shortages delaying the time it takes for different ice creams to be delivered.
“We are having an issue with getting a few things, it’s taking longer," Pemberton said. "My distributor ordered three months ago, and she just got the product in this week, so we've been out of a few things.”
Despite these difficulties for Pemberton, she said she still finds a way to serve up smiles to the people that need them most.
"Oh my gosh it’s wonderful," Pemberton said. "The children are more excited than the adults sometimes to get an ice cream, so that's always good to see.”
