PITTSFIELD, Mass. – In 2024, the city’s business landscape saw some shakeups, with restaurant openings and closures and some new ventures. King Kone, a soft-serve staple, was purchased by the nonprofit Roots & Dreams and Mustard Seeds to be run as a workers’ co-op. At the end of the 2023 season, the Barbarotta family closed the shop’s order and pickup windows for the last time as they prepared to sell.
