With seemingly endless combinations of mix-ins, allows customers to dream up their own ice cream treat or choose from their wildly popular Signature Creations. Never prepackaged or shipped in, it's the freshness factor that sets them apart. They’re better because made fresh every day in every store, puts them in a class of their own.

Well established location for over 23 years. This fully refreshed store was a Blimpie co-brand until recently, but the Blimpie expenses ran higher than the Blimpie sales so the bottom line should improve without it. If interested, one can now co-brand with another one of Kahala's other popular brands such as Wetzel’s Pretzels!
