Family Brings Legacy Brand to Town—First 100 Guests Enjoy Free Ice Cream for a Year!

RENO, NEVADA, UNITED STATES, August 21, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Reno, Nevada, famously known as "The Biggest Little City in the World," is about to get a whole lot sweeter! Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream, premium, fun-filled flavors since 1945, is opening a new location at 13987 South Virginia Street, within the Shayden Summit Mall. The grand opening celebration will take place on Thursday, August 29, 2024, at 11 am. The first 100 people in line will receive Free Ice Cream for a year!

Handel's Reno will be a family-run store, led by seasoned franchisees Andy and Susie Nava, along with Andy's sister and new franchisee, Cristina Ferguson.

Ferguson has lived in Reno for 35 years and is excited to bring Handel’s to the community. Along with her husband Shaune, a Deputy for the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, and their two kids, Cristina looks forward to working with a brand that embodies a family-focused spirit and delivers high-quality products.

“My brother and I had been discussing opening a business and planning our retirement goals for a few years. Every time I visited him in Texas, we’d go to Handel’s, and I fell in love with the Banana Cream Pie flavor. I kept thinking, ‘How can I bring this to Reno?’ Soon enough, we were speaking with Handel’s,” said Ferguson, co-owner of Handel’s Reno. “As we learned about Handel’s, we saw they shared our family-centered values and were drawn in by its nostalgia. Ice cream brings joy, and I cherish watching people light up in the shop—kids and adults rediscovering that childlike wonder."

Handel’s Reno is a 2,500 sq. ft. walk-in, walk-up store and will be open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. It will offer pickup, delivery, and catering services, along with a welcoming patio. Guests can enjoy a variety of handmade flavors, including Banana Cream Pie, Blue Monster, Buckeye, Graham Central Station, Coconut Caramel Delight, and more.

"We love Reno and believe the community will fall in love with Handel’s just as we have. We are excited to bring this heritage brand to the area and to support and partner with local schools, teams, and organizations,” added Ferguson.
