Summary
Ice Cream Shop
About the Business
Set on a popular waterfront strip in one of South East Queensland's great coastal regions, this artisan gelato and ice cream shop has become a genuine community favourite. Families, beachgoers, couples and day-trippers return week after week for the product, the atmosphere and the ever-changing cabinet.
Custom & Bespoke Gelato & deserts are made on site in small batches using premium Italian ingredients: gelato, ice cream and frozen yogurt, made fresh daily. Around 99% of the range is gluten free, a real point of difference that brings in customers many competitors simply can't serve.
66 Flavours on display at any time
6 New flavours rotated in every week
The venue is fitted out as a nostalgic 1950s-60s gelato lounge, complete with classic music and a warm, retro feel that sets it well apart from franchise dessert bars. It is a lifestyle business with strong brand recognition, multiple income streams and clear room to grow.
