You can cater to both. Menu items and store decor can help all demographics live your business. I’ll do a video. Thanks.

Buying new is definitely ideal, but…. Just like buying a vehicle… Sometimes new is just out of reach. There is risk in life and even new is not guaranteed forever! So you can spend $30k on something that can have problems, or spend $8k on an older machine that can also have problems. Obviously the odds are going to lean more towards the older machine, but again… Risk! If you want to start a business… Get what you can afford and go hard!!! Start an emergency fund and new machine fund immediately and go make frozen desserts! Good luck everyone!!!! And just FYI… We bought two used batch freezers for less than $10k and both are still pushing out deliciousness perfectly! Our first machine we bought off eBay and the seller had no idea if it worked!!! We believe in God and knew he would not give us something that didn’t work.🙌🏽

Hi, I'm looking into opening an ice cream shop in my local town. When looking at the demographics of the town it tends to skew slightly older, having a lot of seniors but also a lot of families with young kids. Do you find that you get a lot of seniors at your shops or is it mostly kids/ young families? Thanks
