The Stella’s Choice

Stella’s Ice Cream offers an established franchise model supported by standardized operating systems, comprehensive initial training, marketing resources, and ongoing guidance. From getting started through opening day and beyond, our team provides franchisees with resources designed to support the operation of their Stella’s location—all with a heaping scoop of fun.

Stella’s is your path into business ownership with our expert guidance here every step of the way.

We don’t do what we do here at Stella’s solely for the money, but building a strong, sustainable business model has always been an important part of our story. As a Stella’s franchisee, you’ll have access to established vendor relationships, hiring and staffing guidelines, standardized recipes and operating procedures, and professionally developed marketing resources. Our concept offers multiple product categories, including handmade ice cream, baked goods, and specialty drinks. And with a typical footprint of just 1,000 to 1,500 square feet, Stella’s is designed to deliver the full brand experience within a relatively compact retail space.

Strong Established Business Model

When you invest in Stella’s Ice Cream, you’re gaining more than an established business model—you’re joining a brand built around community, quality, and incredible core values. Our ice cream and baked goods are handmade by our caring team, using the freshest, highest-quality ingredients we can source, including a 100% all-natural dairy base and 100% real vanilla. From the products we serve to the experience we create, our commitment to quality and community is at the heart of what makes Stella’s stand out.
