Sam Reinhart emailed us that my “10- and 12-year-old daughters Layla Reinhart and Sophie Reinhart would kill me if I got this one wrong and would go nuts if they were the winners by identifying the table in the Tuck Shop.” (See below for last week’s mystery photo.) Go nuts, Reinharts. 

Also in the winning circle is Pat Hanson, who added to her correct ID by writing that the shop is  a “great and happy place to visit.”

Rebecca Ingber arrived soon after, weighing in correctly along with Bill Michael, who got an assist from his 8-year old son Harrison. Buddy Knight revealed his allegiance to the ice cream parlor on our Facebook page. Jen Fogarty was a late entry but got in under the wire, writing: “Tuck Shop! We were just there this morning enjoying some yummy ice cream on this hot day. “

Pat Sulahian, who passed away earlier this month, owned and operated the Tuck Shop for many years.

The store flourished in her hands. Part of Pat’s business strategy was a policy of drawing her employees from Island families, and generations have worked there, scooping summer sweetness for Islanders and visitors.

It’s a policy that current owner John Sieni is continuing.
