Carousel’s Soft Serve Icery of West Omaha (Elkhorn), Nebraska is a turnkey mobile catering business specializing in dairy-free soft-serve frozen desserts (similar to Italian ice), serving private events, schools, corporate functions, and community gatherings throughout the Omaha metro area.

The business operates with a fully equipped, custom-built 2021 Ford E450 soft serve truck and has completed approximately 145–150 events annually. As of today, approximately 60 events are already booked for the upcoming season (~$43,000 in revenue), providing immediate revenue for a new owner.

Revenue has grown consistently, reaching approximately $123,000 in 2025. While the business shows net losses on paper, this is primarily due to the current truck financing structure. When adjusted for this, the business generates approximately $20,000–$30,000 in owner earnings, with additional upside through increased bookings and staffing.

The current owner operates the business solo and, due to intentional scheduling constraints, has historically turned down several bookings each week during peak evening and weekend demand periods, creating clear opportunity for expansion. A buyer could increase revenue by adding staff, expanding availability, and introducing additional menu offerings such as coffee, hot chocolate, pretzels, and mini donuts.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational business at a significantly lower cost than building new, as comparable truck builds today can exceed $250,000 and require extended lead times.

Ideal for an owner-operator seeking a flexible, event-driven business with strong growth potential.

The purchase price includes the truck and all business assets. The existing truck loan will be satisfied at closing using a portion of the purchase price, and the buyer will receive the truck free and clear of debt.
