Jupiter Moon Ice Cream to open St. Joseph storefront
ST. JOSEPH — After a year of "pedaling" his wares, David Boyer will soon move sales of his Jupiter Moon ice cream from the back of a trike to its own storefront home in St. Joseph.

Boyer currently rents kitchen space by the hour to make the ice cream he sells, and experimentation takes time and freezer space.

The move follows a letter to shareholders sent last month that acknowledged struggles stemming from a combination of closed retail storefronts and a broader lowering of demand for its luxury audio products.
"Our second quarter was challenging, as we experienced a 17% year-over-year decline in revenue," the company wrote. "Coming off a strong first quarter, we had expected some softness in the second quarter and we did see challenges primarily from a large retail partner in the US rebalancing inventory as well as some weakness in our German market from inventory rebalancing at our distributor.
