The Atlantic Chamber Ambassadors visited Shaved Tail Louie’s on Thursday, May 27th, 2021. The Ambassadors were able to chat with owner Megan Roberts, who has been in business in Atlantic for three years and is planning an expansion into Audubon this summer. Megan and her husband, Adam, began their business in Atlantic in hopes of providing delicious, shaved ice to the community. Megan worked at a shaved ice business throughout high school and when the opportunity to open one of her own came, she could not pass up the opportunity.

The name Shaved Tail Louie’s came with a lot of meaning. A Shaved Tail Louie is an old war term for a new cavalry U.S soldier with little experience. Megan’s middle name is also Louise, so the name seemed fitting for the new venture. Shaved Tail Louie’s attends many events throughout the summer, including going to Lake Icaria for July 4th. Coming this summer, they will open another shop in Audubon, where they will have 13 employees working hard to bring high quality shaved ice to the community.

Saturday night, Deputy Quist posted on the I80 K9 Facebook page, “It has been a rough few days here so has taken a bit to post. We said good bye to a warrior, a friend, a family member. Such a great dog from our friends at Canczechdogs. Thank you to Dr. Kate at Atlantic Animal Health Clinic for taking such good care of him. Under the stars and stripes- the country and citizens he worked for and protected. Highly awarded with so many achievements unnoticed. We love you Vader.”
