Lagomarcino's

Founded by Italian immigrants in 1908, Lagomarcino's originally offered ice cream sodas to everyone who passed through downtown Moline. As the third and fourth generations were folded into the family business, they needed support to make a plan for the future.

“We knew the elephant was in the room,” said Tom Lagomarcino, third generation. “Dan was instrumental. That was a huge weight lifted off of us because it brought in a third party who could objectively look at it and take the emotion out.”
