Jake's Ice Cream in Falls Church, Virginia, employs adults with special needs. The shop's owner, Robin Rinearson, shared the company's mission on "Fox and Friends Weekend."
"It doesn’t really matter what their diagnosis is. I have an expectation that there’s nothing difficult in this business." Cortney Moore is an associate lifestyle writer/producer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent on Twitter at @CortneyMoore716.
"The inspiration was my nephew Jake, who this place is named after," owner Robin Rinearson told "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Sunday morning.
"Jake is 29 years old. He’s got cerebral palsy. He had a job for eight years working for a company with 17 other young adults with disabilities. And when COVID hit, that company basically remained open, but they sent all the 18 people with special needs home," Rinearson said.
