Meet the owners
Handel's Ice Cream has been serving ice cream since 1945, first founded in Youngstown, Ohio and eventually opening more than 150 locations across 15 states.
The Heights location will be owned and operated by local residents Tim and Kesha, who both discovered and became fans of Handel's in 2018.
"We were regular customers right away, always eager to try new flavors and menu items," Kesha said. "The idea of opening our own Handel's franchise just kept making more and more sense over time. We're incredibly excited to bring this beloved brand to our community."
According to the ice cream shop's website, the store is offering 42 ice cream flavors, including banana, strawberry cheesecake chunk, rocky road, peach, salty caramel truffle and grape. The store also offers blue moon and lemon flavor ices, and pink champagne sherbet.
"We live here, eat here and shop here daily," Tim said. "There's such a great mix of restaurants, coffee shops, bars, attractions, all nestled in with single-family homes. We can’t wait to welcome our neighbors and become a go-to spot for ice cream lovers across Houston Heights."
