Atlanta — Handel’s Ice Cream, serving handmade ice cream since 1945, is marking a monumental milestone: its 150th location, which is opening on Dec. 12 at Buckhead Landing in Atlanta.
“Handel’s continues to attract significant interest as one of the fastest growing concepts in the United States,” says Jennifer Schuler, chief executive officer for Handel’s Ice Cream. “With the Buckhead Landing opening, we mark our 150th scoop shop, laying the foundation for continued brand expansion in 2025.”
Adds Schuler: “Building on the success of our recent Midtown Atlanta opening, the debut of our Buckhead Landing shop marks an important milestone in Handel’s expansion, especially on the corporate side, as we refine operations and develop best practices to support our franchisees.”
Known for its best tasting ice cream, handmade in-store by ice cream makers, the nearly 80-year-old brand continues its steady expansion across the nation. Handel’s is currently located in 15 states. For more information, visit www.handelsicecream.com/franchise.
Founded in 1945 in Youngstown, Ohio, the Handel’s legacy was created by Alice Handel and later led by Lenny Fisher, who grew the brand from a single scoop shop into a flourishing chain. Each batch of Handel’s ice cream is made on-site by hand at its ice cream parlors, upholding Alice Handel’s commitment to quality and the best tasting ice cream served in abundance to guests. There are 48 flavors available daily and more than 140 flavors that rotate seasonally.
