Alwin’s Ice Cream -Test

Alwin’s Ice Cream is a premium small-batch ice cream concept preparing to open its first brick-and-mortar location in the greater Los Angeles area. We specialize in handcrafted ice cream made from locally sourced dairy, featuring rotating seasonal flavors, dairy-free options, and house-made waffle cones.

What We’re Looking For:
We are actively seeking a retail space between 1,200 and 1,800 square feet in a high-foot-traffic location. Ideal placements include neighborhood shopping centers, lifestyle centers, grocery-anchored strips, or walkable mixed-use developments near colleges, parks, or entertainment districts.

Target Trade Areas:
Our primary search area covers Los Angeles County, with a strong preference for the Westside, South Bay, Pasadena, and Burbank submarkets. We are also open to well-positioned spaces in parts of Orange County (Irvine, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach).

Space Requirements:
The space must include a grease trap (or the ability to install one), in-store restroom access, adequate electrical capacity for commercial freezers and display cases, and access to water lines for our prep area. We prefer a vanilla shell or a build-to-suit arrangement. Ground-floor inline or endcap positions are strongly preferred. High ceilings are a plus for our open-kitchen concept.

Parking & Access:
A minimum of 15 dedicated or shared parking spaces is required. High-visibility signage and a signalized intersection nearby are important for drive-by traffic. Locations near public transit are a bonus.

About the Concept:
Alwin’s Ice Cream has built a following through pop-up events, local farmers’ markets, and catering across LA County over the past two years. Our average ticket is $9–$12. We project a first-year gross revenue of $450,000–$600,000 based on comparable ice cream retail concepts in similar trade areas. We are prepared to sign a 5-year lease with options.

Tenant Contact:
Interested landlords and listing agents are welcome to submit matching sites through this platform. We respond to all site submissions within 48 hours.
