UPDATE: Illini all-star team of investors buys Jarling's Custard Cup

CHAMPAIGN — Breathe easy, Snickerette Snowstorm fans: The usual assortment of cold custard treats will be served this spring and summer at 309 West Kirby Ave., after all.

Jarling’s Custard Cup could open as soon as five days from now, it was announced Sunday. It will go by the same name and use the same recipes but, for the first time since its 1983 Champaign opening, it will be run by different owners.

The Jarlings — Doug and Christy and son Dylan — will stay for a short time to assist with the transition to an ownership group filled with familiar names.
