Handel's Homemade Ice Cream

It was a sweet experience at Conecon, hosted by the North American Ice Cream Association! Last week, our team had a blast connecting with fellow ice cream aficionados and diving into the latest trends and innovations in the industry. Our Chairman, Leonard Fisher, took the stage to share his passion for crafting innovative and beloved flavors that bring joy to our customers. During the expert panel, he also offered valuable insights on strategic ways to connect your business with your customer, along with practical tips for owners to consider as they grow their business in today's marketplace. At Handel's Homemade Ice Cream, we're proud of our dedication to quality, generosity, and our community-driven franchisees who make our brand a neighborhood favorite. Meeting so many like-minded partners and industry leaders reinforced our commitment to creating a special place for families to enjoy.
