Insight

Thought I'd add some insight. I work at Marble Slab. The slab is granite, not what most people think of as "marble" unless you consider any sufficiently polished slab of stone to be marble. The ice cream is also not made made daily, nor are the cones. If you think about that logically it would mean that leftover ice cream and cones are discarded every day, which would be prohibitively expensive. I didn't make any ice cream this week in fact.

Maggie moos/marble slab

I find it weird that both compeitors are owned by the same company. Is this true? Its like having mcdonalds and burger king owned by the same conglomerate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DChase1 (talk • contribs) 18:40, 21 May 2007

Fair use rationale for Image:Marble slab logo.gif

Image:Marble slab logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Marble Slab Headquarters

Whoever keeps putting down Norcross, Georgia as the headquarters needs to stop. Norcross is not the headquarters for Marble Slab. Houston is. Its parent company is HQ'ed in New York City. Thanks.

First Europian Branch

I recently found this out from one of the workers. The first Marble Slab to be opened was in Dundee's Overgate Centre. For me it's already an addiction. Their ice cream is quality, but expensive.

theres a one in england, eldon square newcastle

i work there :)

I am sure you folks are proud of the places you work, but listing every city where Marble slab has a presence is not appropriate. The list of countries is getting a little long as it is, we might think of reducing it to "stores worldwide" or something. For now, I am just removing the city names and keeping the new countries that editors have added. Akuvar (talk) 02:30, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notability vs Advertising

I removed the entry on catering services. It read like an advertisement of available catering options. Wikipedia is for describing what makes a person place or thing most noteable. Certainly catering, and all the options you can request, is not what an ice cream parlor is most noted for.Akuvar (talk) 20:26, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Granite Slab License?

The article mentions that it was the first concept to use a frozen granite slab. It then goes on to say that this concept has been licensed to other ice cream chains, including sister chain Maggie Moo's. I cannot find any reference to Marble Slab having a license, or patent, or trademark, or anything to use a granite slab and that they "grant" this use to anyone.Akuvar (talk) 20:40, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After 6 months no one has posted any other references for this statement, 1) that Marble slab was the first to ever use a frozen stone (did Steve's?) or 2) that it licenses this to other concepts using the same gimmick. I am therefore removing the statement from the main article. If someone wants to provide a reference and do a revert, no problem. Akuvar (talk) 03:53, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, when I went to remove the statements, there was an improperly typed reference in the material that sourced a franchise purchasing website that states that Marble Slab was the first to use the frozen stone concept. I'm not sure how reliable a franchise purchasing brokerage website is, but i have no reason to go against it. So, I fixed the reference link and left that statement in. However, I went ahead and removed the licensing statement because that remains unsourced. Akuvar (talk) 04:03, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
