SPRING HILL, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two teenage brothers are bringing sweet treats to Middle Tennessee with their mobile ice cream business, Cold Front Frozen Treat.

Parker Brew, 14, and his 18-year-old brother Patrick have been operating their ice cream business together for more than two years. "We've been doing this now for about two and a half years," said Patrick. "This is our second summer."

The young entrepreneurs can be spotted serving a variety of flavors.

Their last name—Brew—might suggest they're in the wrong business. "I've been told that a few times, actually," Patrick said.

The teens, known for their distinctive bow ties, aim for a classic look with their business. "We wanted to look more like early 1900s rather than just the modern look," Patrick said.

I caught up with the duo Thursday at Williamson Health's location in Spring Hill, where they were serving ice cream to celebrate the hard-working medical staff.

Parker is about to turn 15, while Patrick is 18 and plans to study engineering. Parker is good with numbers and may follow a similar path.

And yes, they do enjoy their own product when the workday is done. "Once the customers leave, you can dig in," Patrick said.

Archived Sky 5 video shows Nashville's skyline transformation

Nashville's skyline looks drastically different than when I came to NewsChannel 5 in 1993. A lot of those changes have happened in just the last several years, and the skyline continues to grow. Sky 5 and several viewers have been able to visually document it. I love Austin's look back!
