Max’s Ice Cream to Stay Through Oct. 31

Max’s Best Ice Cream gets to stay at 2416 Wisconsin Ave., NW, through Oct. 31, in a deal with the business owner Max Kehani and landlords Gail and Barbara Bassin. The popular shop in Glover Park for two decades had its lease extended past the June 30 deadline after the neighborhood protested the upcoming move. Lawyers for both parties stated: “Max’s Best Ice Cream will continue in business at 2416 Wisconsin Avenue through October 31, 2013. Max and Gail and Barbara Bassin, the owners of the property, have agreed that this represents a fair and reasonable outcome for all involved. It gives Max and the community the benefit of having Max’s Best Ice Cream in Glover Park for the entire 2013 summer and part of the fall. We are grateful to John Snedden and Rocklands Barbeque without whose active support this arrangement could not have been achieved.”
By Nov. 1, however, the business will have to move, and the space will be taken over by next-door Rocklands Barbecue.
