Multi-Unit Franchisees Welcome New Handel's Homemade Ice Cream in Lake Pleasant

First 100 Guests Enjoy Free Ice Cream for a Year at Grand Opening on the 4th of July!

PEORIA, AZ, UNITED STATES, July 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream, named #1 Ice Cream on the Planet by National Geographic, is bringing its handcrafted, fun-filled ice cream flavors to 25738 North Lake Pleasant Parkway. The community is welcome to the grand opening celebration on Thursday, July 4, 2024, starting at 11:00 a.m. Looking to beat the summer heat? Handel’s will treat the first 100 guests in line to Free Ice Cream for a Year!

This new location is the third Handel’s store managed by multi-unit franchise owners Joe and Victoria Maher, who also operate the Park West and Surprise locations. The Mahers, who have raised their four children in Litchfield Park, AZ, discovered Handel’s during a vacation. Their youngest son spotted a long line outside a Handel's store, and after trying the ice cream, the Mahers were captivated by its quality and nostalgic appeal, prompting them to join the thriving franchise.

“We knew from the first taste of Handel’s ice cream that it was a very high-quality ice cream and the best ice cream we had ever had. Handel’s chose us as an answer to prayer. That may sound silly to some, but it is true. Once we met Jim and the Handel’s team, we really felt welcomed,” said Victoria Maher, Co-owner of Handel’s Lake Pleasant. “We knew we needed to be part of the Handel’s family! We love and appreciate the Handel’s corporate team, it felt more like joining a family than a franchise. The product is hands down the best quality ice cream, and we fell in love with Handel's from our first taste!”

Guests at the grand opening will also have the opportunity to spin a prize wheel for a chance to win Free Swag, Free Ice Cream for a Year, and more! The location will offer a variety of seasonal and classic handcrafted flavors, including Graham Central Station, Ooooh…Dough! Buckeye, Black Cherry, and Chocoholic Chunk

“We felt very drawn to the Lake Pleasant area and are excited to get this Handel’s store open in such a great community," said Joe, Co-owner of Handel’s Lake Pleasant.

The new Handel’s Lake Pleasant location, an 1,800 sq. ft. walk-in store, will offer seating, a shaded patio with misters, pickup, delivery, and catering. The new location will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
