Ice cream is one of the most popular (and delicious) desserts in the world. It's no wonder that the average American consumes 23 pounds of ice cream every year. The ice cream industry has come a long way from 1845, when the hand-cranked ice cream freezer was invented. These days, regular ice cream is the most popular category of frozen desserts and American ice cream companies made more than 900 million gallons of regular ice cream last year. The $5 billion ice cream industry in the United States contributed more than $39 billion to the national economy and created more than 188,000 jobs in communities across the country.
Understandably, there are many ice cream parlors and shops serving everything from traditional ice cream, milkshakes, and self-serve frozen yogurt to frozen custards, gelato, and Italian ice. There are plenty of options to consider when choosing what kind of ice cream shop to buy. Regardless of your product preference, investing in an established ice cream shop is a smart choice because it is typically tied to a very loyal customer base. Ice cream shops are enjoyed by kids and adults alike so it's hard to understand who doesn't love ice cream!
Ice cream franchises for sale are popular because of the ease of operation. In addition, these types of businesses do not typically involve late nights or alcohol so it's a worry-free concept. Ice cream is typically an "impulse" product. People who buy ice cream usually do it on impulse when they happen to be walking by, see it, and are tempted.
