But, if you are looking to get a scoop at the Marble Slab on University Avenue in Waterloo, you are out of luck.
For the last month and a half, the franchisee has been locked out of her store by the parent company.

Franchisee Andrea Schlegel-Parsons said the parent company changed the locks on the doors on June 19, effectively removing her from her store.
“There's a better way of resolving things rather than taking such a retaliatory and an extreme consequence that has a negative impact,” she said.
