We all scream for Tiger King! Baskin-Robbins store in Kansas changes sign to state it has 'no relation to Carole Baskin' - and its customer numbers DOUBLED as a result

A Kansas Baskin-Robbins wants customers to know that the ice cream chain has absolutely nothing to do with Tiger King's Carole Baskin.

On Sunday, the Baskin-Robbins in Junction City updated its marquee to proclaim that it has 'No Relation to Carole Baskin.'

And according to TMZ, the new sign has been a hit, with its owner saying sales doubled the day the new letters went up.

It's a hit! The owner hadn't watched the show, but her son said referencing Carole (pictured) would be a good idea given the success of Tiger King

Peggy Heldstab owns the local ice cream store, but hadn't actually watched the Netflix docu-series herself when she changed the sign.

She told TMZ that her son thought it would be funny, and she took his word for it. 

It turned out to be a pretty good tip, with the sign attracting double the customers on Sunday than the store had had the day before. 

This has proven particularly helpful since the business is currently limited to carry-out and delivery.  

Meanwhile, Peggy has since started watching Tiger King, and said that despite the sign, she'd happily serve Carole if she came into the shop. 

Alan Schreier, 70, was in a relationship with the Big Cat Rescue founder between 1999 and 2001, after her husband Don Lewis mysteriously vanished.

Alan, a retired real estate developer, met Carole, 58, online and after just two months of dating he moved into the wildlife preserve compound where she still lives in Tampa, Florida.

'I was on a couple of dating sites in the late 90s and one day I got this email from Carole saying: ''I know you but I don't think you know me, but if you want to know me I'm in People magazine this week,"' Alan said.

Carole's first husband, Don Lewis, went missing in 1997 and has since been declared dead. His body was never found.

'I met Carole about a year and a half after her husband went missing, so it was still fresh,' recalled Alan.

'She told me that Don hung around some ''unsavory people.'' She said he used to carry a lot of money around on him and she thought maybe somebody did something to him, perhaps kidnapped or killed him.

'Their marriage was faltering towards the end. She told me they were not getting along at all.'

Despite Carole's interesting past, Alan was keen to meet her in person.

'We got along and she was very attractive. She usually dressed in cat prints, they looked good on her,' he said. 'We hit it off pretty quickly and started spending a lot of time together.' 

Alan added: 'We had a very good sex life, and she was quite affectionate with me. She had a very high sex drive, maybe that's why it lasted for over three years.

'She liked it in the hot tub, we got our money's worth for the hot tub! 

Alan and Carole lived together harmoniously for about seven months, but problems arose when Alan's son Todd, then 15, moved in with them.

Todd, now a 36-year-old real estate investor, does not remember his time at the Baskin household fondly, explaining Carole wasn't much of a people person and made him stay away from her side of the house.

He said: 'I never spoke with her about her ex-husband, but there was a big cement slab in the middle of the woods that never had an explanation on it. That didn't make sense to me. That always like that was the only red flag thing that stuck out with me. '

Despite the soured relationship Carole had with both Alan and Todd, both are skeptical she killed Lewis.

Alan said: 'I think it's bull spit. He was not nice to her. He was rough with her and so forth. So, you know, there's a part of me thinking, who knows? You know? I don't know. I still believe that she didn't do it.'

Todd added: 'Do I think Carol personally, like schlepped him in the back of a truck and ground him up and then fed him… no, absolutely not.

'Do I think that she might know like more than she's let anyone else know? Absolutely. How private and cold she is? She’s probably the world champion at keeping a secret.'
