Handcrafted, locally sourced ice cream that turns any summer event into an experience.
Scoop & Stroll is a mobile artisanal ice cream pop-up operating from a custom-built vintage cart. We specialize in handcrafted, small-batch ice cream using locally sourced dairy, fruits, and unique flavor combinations like lavender honey and bourbon peach. The business caters to private events (weddings, corporate parties) and public summer festivals, offering both walk-up sales and pre-booked catering packages. With a $25k+ budget, we invest in a high-end cart, commercial kitchen rental, initial inventory, permits, and marketing. Full-time operations include recipe development, event booking, staffing, and daily logistics. The hard difficulty reflects the competitive seasonal market, food safety compliance, and the need for culinary expertise and event management skills.
Summer event demand is surging post-pandemic, with families and organizers seeking unique, high-quality food experiences that are both delicious and photogenic.
