Dispute forces closure of popular Waterloo [Marble Slab Creamery] ice cream shop 

[The franchise owner] believes [Marble Slab corporate] locking her out is in response to her starting an association of franchise owners. “Prior to this, I have received numerous best operator awards. Since I started advocating on behalf of other franchisees, they have responded in an adversarial manner toward me," Schlegel-Parsons said.

On Thursday, Cam Inglis, the president of Marble Slab Creamery, told CTV News Kitchner via email the corporation plans to reopen the Waterloo location in the coming weeks.

"Unfortunately, circumstances out of our control have led us to the difficult decision to transfer ownership of the store to maintain the high operating standards we hold our locations to. We plan to reopen in the coming weeks and will offer all Waterloo employees the option to retain their positions," Inglis said.
