One store is South Orange mainstay; the other is a Maplewood newcomer.
Both are announcing special Holiday hours.
Lickt Gelato has been hosting a “soft opening” at its Ridgewood Row location with special Thursday hours throughout the fall. Now Lickt is stepping up the excitement with its “Holiday Market Hours” adding Saturdays from 12-4 and special hours on the Monday and Tuesday of Thanksgiving week:
Saturday 11/14 12-4 p.m.
Thursday 11/19 3-7 p.m.
Saturday 11/21 12-4 p.m.
Monday 11/23 3-7 p..m
Tuesday 11/24 10a-2 p.m.
Lickt co-owners LuAnne Kleppe and Bonnie Czukoski are taking all pre-orders for holiday gelato and sorbet by November 14 to ensure availability. Check in for up-to-the-minute updates on the Lickt Gelato Facebook page.
Meanwhile Ben Salmon at Kitchen a la Mode in South Orange has expanded his hours to 7 days a week through December in order to better serve holiday shoppers (normally the specialty kitchen and cooking supply store is closed on Mondays):
Kitchen a la Mode Hours through Dec. 31:
Monday – Saturday, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Sunday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
But that’s not the end of the story: Those hours will probably expand further in the week before Christmas, said Salmon. Look for updates on the Kitchen a la Mode Facebook page.
