MARIANNE’S ICE CREAM OF SANTA CRUZ IS CHANGING HANDS. THE SANTA CRUZ LANDMARK LOCATED AT 1020 OCEAN STREET HAS BEEN A FAVORITE TO TOURISTS AND LOCALS A LIKE SINCE 1958. CHARLIE WILCOX AND HIS PARTNER KELLEY DILLON ACQUIRED MARIANNE’S FOR A REPORTED 1.4 MILLION DOLLARS. THE ORIGINAL MARIANNE’S SPORTED 13 FLAVORS BUT HAS GROWN TO AN OUTSTANDING 100. WHEN ASKED IF ANYTHING MIGHT CHANGE UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP, WILCOX ANSWERED “IF IT AIN’T BROKE, DON’T FIX IT.”
