What could be more fun than opening an ice cream shop? As the owner of an ice cream shop you will have a career that is fun, creative and rewarding in so many ways.

“When people come for ice cream they are usually celebrating something. The smiles on ice cream eaters’ faces is the most rewarding thing to me!”
   — Pam Nardinelli, Owner

You can make your ice cream business what you want it to be. You might decide to open an old-fashioned ice cream parlor that becomes a popular attraction for tourists, a scoop shop selling a high volume of take-out ice cream, or even a low-risk ice cream cart business.

You could aim to please as many tastes as possible by offering a wide variety of ice cream flavors in regular ice cream, or you might choose to specialize. Maybe you imagine having a shop that offers special frozen dessert products such as:

• Premium or super-premium ice cream
• Organic ice cream
• All-natural ice cream
• Exotic ice cream
• Ethnic ice cream
• Soft-serve ice cream
• Frozen yogurt
• Frozen custard
• Gelato
