ity to acquire a well-established chain of three highly successful ice cream shops with strong, consistent sales and excellent brand recognition. Two locations are uniquely housed in beautifully renovated railroad cabooses—creating a memorable, destination-style experience—while the third is a popular free-standing stand.
The portfolio includes:
Ice Cream Caboose – Groton (renovated caboose; land and building convey)
Frosty Caboose – Cortland (renovated caboose; land and building convey)
Frosty Cow (free-standing stand on leased land)
Each location is well equipped with numerous newer pieces of ice cream and service equipment, allowing for efficient operations and immediate continuity for a new owner. The Cortland location is further enhanced by a large storage barn, while additional storage is provided by a storage trailer in Groton and a storage shed at the Dryden-area location, offering excellent capacity for inventory, supplies, and seasonal needs.
This is a true turn-key operation with a proven track record, strong financial performance, and significant upside potential through continued branding, expanded hours, or menu growth. The business is being offered for sale solely due to the owners’ retirement, not performance. To ensure a smooth transition, the owners are willing to remain on after closing to train the new buyer.
Complete financials are available to qualified buyers with a signed confidentiality agreement. Ideal for an owner-operator or investor seeking a fun, profitable, and established business with real estate included in two prime locations.
