Ann Marie Lander

Owner | The Cherry on Top

When Ann Marie Lander moved to Exeter Township in 2013, she knew she wanted to make a positive impact in her community. Having already launched two successful small businesses, she decided to start one dedicated to a popular dessert — ice cream!

The Cherry on Top, Ann Marie’s dessert truck, debuted at the Exeter Township Harvest Day in the fall of 2019. Over the past four years, it has made stops at a variety of events, including birthday parties, fundraisers, showers, school functions, corporate events, weddings and anywhere else ice cream is desired.

In 2020, Ann Marie purchased a commercial lot in Exeter Township near Shelbourne Road where she parks The Cherry on Top and opens to the public alongside other food trucks. As she enters the fifth year of running her business, Ann Marie hopes to expand outside of Berks County.

Her goal for the Shelbourne property is to bring community members together and offer something unique and fun to her township. She continues to invite other food trucks and small businesses to join The Cherry on Top on the property. The grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony with the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance is scheduled for this spring to kick off the ice cream season! You can find the truck’s schedule on the website and on social media.
