Turnkey Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Business in High-Traffic Location
A rare opportunity to acquire a long-established ice cream and frozen yogurt shop located in one of West Vancouver’s most charming waterfront village communities. Established in 1980, this business has built decades of local goodwill and benefits from a strong mix of tourist traffic, ferry-related foot traffic, local residents, and family-oriented customers. The shop is positioned in a highly walkable destination area, steps from a major transportation hub and surrounded by other owner-operated local businesses.
This is a turnkey, manageable, lifestyle-oriented business ideally suited for an engaged owner-operator, couple, or family looking for a community-based business with strong seasonal upside and a more flexible winter rhythm. The business operates from an efficient 570 sq ft retail space and includes a dedicated parking stall, adjacent outdoor storage, fully owned equipment, and a fresh 5-year lease that commenced April 1, 2025.
Asking price: $ 195,000 CAD
