Meet The Owners

Kayla and Blayne Midthun are lifelong Eau Claire residents and graduates of North High School, later receiving degrees from UW-Stout. Kayla's career, leading up to the creation of Ramone's, was in nonprofit work at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Wisconsin and later serving as the Executive Director of the Chippewa Area Mentor Program, in Chippewa Falls. Blayne holds a Real Estate Broker's license and had been a stay at home dad to the couple's three children during their younger years. When they were visiting Stillwater, MN for their 10th wedding anniversary in 2015, they enjoyed delicious malts from Leo's Grill & Malt Shop. They wished their own hometown had a nostalgic place to get malts and ice cream! They dreamed of their own spin of a vintage ice cream parlor and little did they know the opportunity would knock less than one year later. Ramone's opened in the Spring of 2017 and has been a great, family friendly place to visit since!
