John Avery Whittaker
When you walk into Whit’s End, it’s not just another trip for ice cream—especially when John Avery Whittaker’s behind the counter. That’s because Whit, as he’s fondly known, is always ready to tell a story and share his wisdom about life. A gentle and understanding man, Whit has worn many hats: publisher, teacher, inventor, world traveler and now, entrepreneur of the ice cream shop bearing his name. Whit’s End is a place of adventure and discovery where people can experience the excitement of learning and uplifting conversation, where kids can just be kids.
