"In 1893, Lewis Dubois Bassett moved production of his ice cream to the newly built Reading Terminal Market. At the same time he also opened a retail store. The store that he opened is still in the same location in the Reading Terminal with the original marble counters and is still owned and operated by Lewis Dubois' great-great grandsons Michael Strange and Roger Bassett."
