For years the Tastee Freez on Churchill Avenue adjoining Staunton's Gypsy Hill Park was an oasis for park visitors especially during the hot summer months. The annual Fourth of July celebration in the park saw the Tastee Freez parking lot overflowing with visitors stopping for ice cream and hamburgers, and locals would frequent the restaurants throughout the year.
In December the Churchill Avenue location as well as one on West Beverley Street seemed to change hands and turn into an MJ's Burgers and Shakes with a temporary sign covering the Tastee Freez sign ... for a few weeks. Then the permanent closed sign showed up at both locations and residents were questioning what had happened.

Jimmy Anderson's Market, a short walk up Springhill Road from the park, has nice sandwiches, cold drinks and ice cream.
