The Sweet Retreat Hosts Fundraiser To Bury Hershall Creachbaum

July 23, 2025 By Dayton937

The brother and sister ownership team of The Sweet Retreat were deeply impacted by hearing of the the passing of Hershall Creachbaum, a sweet 7-year-old boy with autism, who was tragically taken from this world.

To honor Hershall’s memory and support his family during this incredibly difficult time, they will be holding a fundraiser next Monday, July 28th. 20% of all sales will be directly donated to help cover his funeral and burial costs. They have spoken with his grandmother, who has graciously given her blessing for this event.
Hershall’s favorite ice cream flavors were vanilla and Superman, so we are adding a special item to our menu in his memory: “Hershall’s Superman Sundae.” This sundae includes layers of Superman and vanilla ice cream, topped with marshmallow, whipped cream, and sprinkles. They hope it brings a little joy as we remember Hershall.
Please join them this upcoming Monday as our community comes together to support Hershall’s family and celebrate the life of a very special little boy. Your support means the world to us and to his loved ones.

April 25, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

The Sweet Retreat, located at 2613 Smithville Road in Dayton opened seasonally beginning in 2018. The owners Chris Tobias and Simon Wiley graduated from Carroll High School and was mostly staffed by local high school students.

We truly appreciate your support over all the years and encourage you to keep savoring those sweet moments, whether at home or elsewhere. Thank you for all the wonderful memories, and we hope to see you around 
Stay cool and keep spreading the love for ice cream! 
With heartfelt appreciation,
The Sweet Retreat Team”
They will be missed!
