Vice President Joe Biden calls Kendra Backer and Zach Davis, the owners of The Penny Ice Creamery in Santa Cruz, CA to thank them for sharing their story in a YouTube video and to congratulate them on the success of their business. Their dream of opening an ice cream shop that makes “really great ice cream from scratch; the kind of ice cream that Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Ben Franklin used to enjoy,” was made possible as a result of a $250,000 Recovery Act small business loan.
