Zemcar is celebrating the magic, community, great ice cream and coffee so many Boston neighborhoods love at JP Licks. Each JP Licks store – 13 in the Greater Boston area - is more than a local ice cream shop – it is a neighborhood icon, where people of all ages feel welcome. Zemcar makes life easier for families and together, both companies want to support busy Greater Boston families and neighborhoods.
“Every family should have a safer, insured alternative when public transit or family members are not an option for transportation,” said Zemcar Chief Engagement Officer, Lisa Eisenbud. “We are replicating the way families make connections in their community through the Zemcar smartphone app,” said Bilal Khan, Founder.
