Big Gay Ice Cream cofounder Doug Quint sued partner Jon Chapski, The New York Times reported. It claimed that Chapski refused to "roll out new ice cream flavors" that Quint had created, and ignored other suggestions related to the brand's expansion. Big Gay Ice Cream, which started out as an ice cream truck in 2009, had multiple locations across New York and Philadelphia at its height. Big Gay Ice Cream pints were even sold in major grocery chains and drugstores. The store is operated by neighborhood restaurateur, Jeremy Wladis, who was given permission to use the brand and recipes on Friday, according to the New York Times.

Both men say they hope to pull the company back from the brink and continue without Mr. Chapski, whom they hired as a financial adviser in 2011 and made a partner in 2016. The founders continued to develop new products and marketing efforts, but Mr. Chapski effectively ran the business. Mr. Quint is seeking at least $4 million, claiming damages arising from breach of contract, fiduciary irresponsibility and “willful misconduct” by Mr. Chapski. Mr. Quint said in an interview that Mr. Chapski has maintained his lifestyle even as the company has descended into debt. On Friday, Mr. Wladis said he had been granted permission to use the Big Gay brand and recipes by Mr. Chapski, who repeatedly assured him that the founders were no longer involved.
