Sundae Scoop opens 2nd ice cream shop in Hampton Roads
Two scoops are better than one.
Sundae Scoop, a veteran-owned ice cream shop in Virginia Beach, opened a second location, in Chesapeake's Las Gaviotas Shopping Center, near Tidewater Community College.
Owners Philip and Sibs Harrell expanded their business to accommodate employees returning home from college.
'I wouldn't have had enough work for them at the Kempsville location,' Philip Harrell said.
The Chesapeake store has a bigger kitchen. Currently, Harrell produces 120 gallons of ice cream per week, but he needs 400 gallons to keep up with demand.
The creamery also plans to add new selections to its menu: ice cream cakes and bars.
Customers can still find their favorite ice creams, such as salted caramel butter pecan, German chocolate cake and rum raisin. Harrell will make other cool flavors based on recommendations from the Chesapeake community.
The new spot held a grand opening celebration on April 18 featuring free scoops, door games and a ribbon-cutting with city officials. The event and location were supported by a $5,000 small business grant from Cricket Wireless.

German minister: Services must be considered in tariff row with US
The European Union wants to include services in the tariff dispute with the United States to persuade US President Donald Trump to relent, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said on Sunday. "We want to focus not only on the exchange of goods and products but also on services. And if you look at the whole spectrum, then the exchange between the United States of America and the European Union is quite balanced," Wadephul explained on German public broadcaster ZDF. "And if you take that into account, I believe we have good conditions to reach a reasonable conclusion." The chairman of the Trade Committee in the European Parliament, Bernd Lange, had also hinted at this. The EU has a trade deficit with the US in services, Lange pointed out. This is mainly due to the high demand in Europe for the offerings of US digital companies like Google and Meta. Trump justifies his tariff policy by stating that the US has a trade deficit in goods with the EU. Trump recently also announced a doubling of tariffs on aluminium and steel imports to 50%. A spokesman for the European Commission threatened countermeasures over the weekend.

Brentford ‘Agree Deal' with Bundesliga Side Over Summer Move
Mark Flekken Nears Bayer Leverkusen Move as Brentford Weigh Up Replacement According to Sky Sports, Bayer Leverkusen have reached an agreement with Brentford for the transfer of Dutch goalkeeper Mark Flekken. The 31-year-old, who arrived in West London only last summer, is now expected to join forces with Erik ten Hag in Germany. Advertisement This move marks a swift turn in Brentford's goalkeeping plans, and although Flekken endured a mixed debut season in the Premier League, he remained a key figure for Thomas Frank's side. Flekken Departure Signals Busy Summer Ahead 'Bayer Leverkusen have reached an agreement with Brentford for the transfer of goalkeeper Mark Flekken,' reported Sky in Germany, a move that underlines Leverkusen's intent to strengthen further following their unbeaten Bundesliga-winning campaign. Photo IMAGO Flekken, previously with Freiburg, had his moments at Brentford, combining solid shot-stopping with assured distribution. Yet, questions over his command of the box and a few high-profile errors led to speculation about his long-term future. With Brentford finishing in the bottom half and conceding 65 goals, it's no surprise the club are looking to retool. Advertisement His departure also reunites him with Erik ten Hag, who is reportedly set to take the reins at Leverkusen following Xabi Alonso's exit. The link between Dutch football's modern guard continues to shape transfers across Europe. Kelleher Topping Brentford's Replacement List With Flekken's exit all but sealed, Brentford have already turned to Liverpool in search of a replacement. Sky Sports News reports that, 'Brentford have approached Liverpool for Caoimhin Kelleher as a potential replacement for Flekken.' Kelleher, valued at £20 million, has long been viewed as the best No.2 in the league. His cool temperament and clean distribution have impressed in limited opportunities behind Alisson Becker. But the 26-year-old now craves first-team football — and Brentford could offer that platform. Advertisement However, the Bees are not alone in their pursuit. 'They face competition from West Ham and Leeds for the 26-year-old,' Sky Sports adds. All three clubs are in need of a reliable keeper, and Liverpool's valuation reflects both his pedigree and potential. Brentford's Strategic Challenge Brentford's recruitment model has long been admired for its data-driven, forward-thinking approach. Replacing Flekken will be less about reputation and more about tactical fit — and if Kelleher is the profile they want, they may need to act decisively in what's becoming a competitive market. They must also weigh the cost. Spending £20 million on a goalkeeper is a significant outlay for a club like Brentford, even if the investment is for a long-term No.1. Photo: IMAGO Leverkusen's Project Gains Momentum Meanwhile, Flekken becomes a part of a growing Leverkusen project that shows no signs of slowing down. With a new manager incoming and Champions League football secured, the German side are positioning themselves as more than a one-season story. Advertisement In Flekken, they gain experience, Bundesliga familiarity, and a goalkeeper who thrives in a passing system, all vital as they look to consolidate their success. Our View – EPL Index Analysis For Brentford fans, Flekken's exit doesn't come as a total shock, but it does leave a gap that must be filled quickly and smartly. Flekken had his critics, but he also had moments of quality. His distribution allowed Brentford to build from the back, and he played a vital role in Thomas Frank's system. That said, inconsistency was always a concern. Losing him to Leverkusen may actually be a chance to upgrade in goal. Advertisement The links to Kelleher are exciting. Here's a goalkeeper who's been learning from the best at Liverpool and who deserves to be a starter. He's agile, composed, and has Champions League experience under his belt. However, £20 million is steep. For a club like Brentford, every investment needs to hit, and Kelleher would need to deliver from day one. What's clear is that the club must act fast. With pre-season looming and a competitive market for keepers, standing still won't be an option. The Flekken sale is smart business, but only if the next move matches the ambition.

Florian Wirtz unveils his ONLY desire
In this decadent age of modern football, Florian Wirtz is a refreshing new kid on the block. Nowadays, footballers have inflated egos and are driven by money and fame, but Liverpool's potential new signing is the antithesis of all of that. Advertisement Far too often in the past, Liverpool have been let down by their younger players or heroes. Michael Owen, Raheem Sterling and now Trent Alexander-Arnold are examples of those who abandoned the ship at Anfield for fame or riches, or even both. Wirtz is different. He's leaving Bayer Leverkusen on good terms. He's decided not to join their arch rivals and has instead been persuaded by an exciting footballing project, rejecting Manchester City in the process, who also wanted to bring him to the Premier League. There's a reason why Wirtz doesn't act like most professional players. He doesn't have an agent whispering in his ears, cajoling him to make lucrative moves. He comes from a good sporting family. His sister is a footballer for Werder Bremen. His parents were both athletes and actually represent him when it comes to negotiations and decisions about his future. Advertisement He's an old-school athlete in a (barely) 22-year-old super phenom's body. It's hard to believe that people like him actually still exist. But it's quite refreshing. Especially when you listen to him speaking about his future. In Germany's Sports Illustrated which was published in April of this year, so before transfer speculation arose about Wirtz's future, but perhaps around the time when Liverpool could have first made their approach to him, Wirtz was asked about who deals with his finances and whether he is motivated by money. The German international gave a telling answer, explaining that he is not in charge of his finances and he didn't care about how much money Leverkusen had offered him before joining the German giants. Advertisement "When I moved from Cologne to Leverkusen, I didn't think about my salary for a single second, but only about what was best for my career," Wirtz said. "I don't even think about how much money I have in my account or what I could earn in the future. Of course, you should make sure you get a good contract. But for me, the sporting perspective is much more important than the money. And I think my parents would be angry if I were too fixated on money. "After I moved to Leverkusen at 16, my parents managed my salary and sent me 150 euros a month. That shaped me. It was important to my parents that I didn't do anything stupid with my salary." That is a very encouraging thing to hear from a Liverpool perspective. It's a rare mentality to have in the modern game but it makes us all the more excited to have Wirtz in this team.
