    As Whitey’s Ice Cream marks 90 years in business this week, the Tunberg family is inviting a large and still growing community of co-owners to join in the celebration.

    “We’ve always said, the Quad Cities community has always taken ownership of Whitey’s,” said Jon Tunberg, who along with brother Jeff Tunberg are the legal co-owners of the iconic ice cream store.
