Coastal Cones Beachfront Ice Cream - Turnkey Mobile Food Business
A rare opportunity to acquire an established, fully branded turnkey mobile food business with a strong presence in the Oceanside community. Coastal Cones Beachfront Ice Cream has successfully operated in both Parksville and Qualicum Beach, serving thousands of locals and tourists while participating in popular markets, festivals, and community events. This proven seasonal business offers a flexible lifestyle while providing strong income potential for owner-operators. Built from the ground up with quality, professionalism, and long-term growth in mind, Coastal Cones is a recognizable local brand with an excellent reputation and a loyal customer following. The business is straightforward to learn and efficient to operate. There is no cooking, no extensive food preparation, and no complicated kitchen operations. You scoop, swirl, serve, and create memorable customer experiences. It is an ideal opportunity for couples, young entrepreneurs, retirees, or anyone looking to own an established seasonal business without the complexity of a traditional restaurant. While currently operating as a successful premium ice cream business, the trailer was intentionally designed as a versatile commercial food platform with future expansion in mind. It features commercial-grade electrical, plumbing, and utility infrastructure that extends well beyond the needs of a traditional ice cream operation, providing the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of additional food and beverage concepts. Whether the purchaser chooses to continue operating Coastal Cones or adapt the trailer for coffee, specialty drinks, hot food, or another mobile food venture (subject to any required equipment installations and regulatory approvals), the foundation is already in place. Since completion, the trailer has been stored entirely indoors, protected from West Coast weather, moisture, and pests. Its condition reflects this level of care and is exceptionally difficult to find in the mobile food industry. Included in the Sale: - Fully built 2025 commercial food trailer - Commercial refrigeration and freezer equipment - New Zealand swirl machine - Generator and complete power system - Square POS system - Branding, signage, and marketing materials - Shop equipment and operational tools - Remaining inventory at the time of sale - Training and transition assistance - Established operating systems, procedures, and business assets A transferable commercial shop lease may also be available, subject to landlord approval. Why Coastal Cones? - Established and recognized local brand - Three successful operating seasons - Turnkey operation ready for immediate ownership - Professionally designed commercial trailer with expansion potential - Excellent reputation within the local community - Opportunity to continue the existing business or expand into additional food and beverage concepts - Immediate opportunity to operate and generate revenue during the current season Qualified purchasers are invited to contact [email protected] to request the complete information package, including the detailed equipment list, business overview, optional add-ons, and viewing information. Additional Information: - Detailed financial information will be provided during the due diligence process following execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). - Viewings and business discussions are by appointment only, as the business is currently operating for the season. Reason for sale: Transitioning into full-time careers and beginning the next chapter of our lives. If you're looking for an established, professionally built, turnkey mobile food business in one of Vancouver Island's most desirable communities, Coastal Cones offers a unique opportunity to step into a business with an established presence, strong brand recognition, and room for future growth.
