SOUTHWICK — To mark National Small Business Week (May 4-10), Comcast Business celebrated the Summer House’s decades of success by giving out free ice cream to the first 150 customers who visited the family-owned restaurant and ice cream shop at 552 College Highway, Southwick on May 8.

The Summer House has long been known as a go-to spot for a first date, an after-dinner treat, or generations of birthday celebrations. Now entering its 45th season, the Summer House serves up summer comfort foods year-round. While its menu is extensive — from burgers and hot dogs to wraps and sandwiches — customers often gravitate toward its ice cream, sundaes, and frozen yogurt treats.

Owners Richard and Steven Grimaldi, who took over the businesses from their father, Anthony Grimaldi, know that a dependable customer experience is key to maintaining their thriving local business. As such, they’ve trusted Comcast Business since 2016 for their internet service, which helps power their operations and deliver efficient customer service, including reliable payment processing and seamless communication between customers, employees, and vendors.

PHILADELPHIA — Comcast Business recently prepared a thought-leadership article for BusinessWest called “How Connected Technology Is Driving Sustainability.”

The piece details the reasons why the issue of sustainability has found firm footing in businesses of all sizes, from customer demand to boosting growth to helping organizations keep up with local and state regulations. It also details the role of smart technology in sustainable businesses, explaining its applications in areas such as energy management, water management, food-waste mitigation, building-automation systems, and customer involvement.

These tools, Comcast notes, “are only as successful as the network they operate on. In order to optimize the use of smart technologies, businesses need to ensure a strong connectivity foundation. Businesses can also leverage a trusted third-party provider with expertise in network connectivity and advanced wireless to help ensure fast, reliable connectivity is available to support a bevy of connected devices.”
