This well-established multi-location ice cream business represents a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving, fully equipped operation positioned across several of Buffalo’s most dynamic and desirable commercial districts. Built with a focus on brand consistency, quality craftsmanship, and community experience, each facility offers a turnkey environment designed for continued profitability and scalable growth.

Elmwood Avenue serves as the flagship location—a year-round neighborhood hub nestled in the heart of Buffalo’s Elmwood Village. Surrounded by walkable retail, restaurants, and dense residential foot traffic, the shop features a modern retro design that blends stainless steel efficiency with nostalgic charm. Interior finishes include mint-green seating, pink diner booths, and clean white tile—instantly recognizable elements of the brand’s visual identity. The space includes full back-of-house production, storage, and service areas equipped with commercial-grade refrigeration, dipping cabinets, prep equipment, and a top-of-the-line Taylor C713 soft-serve machine.

The Seneca Street location anchors the brand’s presence in the South Buffalo market, where significant city investment is fueling a true neighborhood resurgence. Surrounded by revitalized storefronts and infrastructure improvements, this year-round facility mirrors the Elmwood aesthetic while serving as a production and retail hybrid. It houses redundant equipment to support volume demand and maintain quality control, including Taylor C712 soft-serve systems, Beverage-Air merchandiser freezers, Southbend convection ovens, and additional undercounter and upright refrigeration. The location’s open layout and flexible zoning allow for potential wholesale or catering expansion.

The seasonal waterfront operations—Charlie’s Boatyard and Wilkeson Point—capture Buffalo’s booming Outer Harbor traffic. These sites are ideally positioned to serve thousands of visitors throughout the summer months, with built-in exposure to families, cyclists, and boaters along the waterfront. Each unit is compact, efficient, and purpose-built for high-volume service, complete with dipping cabinets, beverage coolers, and premium blending and prep equipment. The Wilkeson Point facility, newly equipped and ready for launch, represents a prime opportunity to expand into a growing waterfront district poised for continued residential and recreational development.

Together, these four locations provide a balanced year-round revenue model—steady urban demand during the colder months, complemented by high-margin, high-volume seasonal income from the waterfront operations. Collectively, the business holds more than $180,000 in Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FFE) value, including fully owned commercial refrigeration, freezers, soft-serve and dipping equipment, mixers, and smallwares. All assets are well maintained and meet current commercial compliance standards, allowing seamless operation for a new owner without immediate capital expenditure.

Beyond the hard assets, the facilities’ true value lies in their design cohesion and customer experience. Each site reflects a strong, identifiable brand built around authenticity and hospitality. The combination of indoor and outdoor seating, vibrant retro-modern décor, and welcoming service culture has cultivated loyal local followings across all neighborhoods.

With optimized layouts, reliable staff infrastructure, and streamlined operations, these facilities provide both stability and scalability. The business is ideally suited for an investor seeking a profitable, turnkey enterprise—or an operator eager to continue expanding a beloved Buffalo brand across Western New York and beyond.
