Business Description
Do you want to follow your dream of running an ice cream shop? Do you want to earn a full-time income in 7 months and get a 5 month vacation? Do you want to sell a product that people eagerly wish to buy? Then this business is for you!

This business has everything it needs to be successful for the next owner. It has a fiercely loyal customer base who will know you by name and will line up on opening day in the Spring to get their treat (and then be back again tomorrow). It has all the equipment to make your own product which means the quality of your treats will always be top-notch. It has a stream-lined work-flow for employees capable of generating over $500/hour. And it has mobile carts for catering parties and corporate gatherings all over the metro.

Winters are long in MN but this shop is perfectly set up to make the Spring, Summer and Fall months as productive as possible.

The current owners took over in Spring of 2020 and weathered the Covid shutdowns when most other shops closed. This store is resilient. Then they grew the store from less than 100k in sales to over 350k in sales. This store is growing. They more than doubled their sales in the month of March over three years by focusing on customer service. This store has a fantastic customer base.

And there is still more room to grow!

Facilities & Assets
The ice cream shop is a 1200 sq ft space in a strip mall anchored by a major grocer and surrounded by upscale neighborhoods in which all walking paths lead to the shopping center.
All product is made in-house and therefore this ice cream shop comes fully equipped with all of the equipment required to produce, store, display and sell its frozen treats.
The business also owns 3 mobile carts and a trailer to transport them for mobile events.
Market Outlook / Competition
There is no nearby competition from stand-alone ice cream shops within 3 miles of the store.
Opportunities for Growth
The shop comes equipped with 3 mobile carts that are currently only being utilized about 3 months of the year and only on weekends. There is plenty of opportunity to sell during the week off-site at events, parks, and corporate parties.
The franchise continues to release new and exciting flavors and products which draws in new people regularly.
Year round operations offer potential for significant growth.
