Company history/background
This historic (over 30 years of history) gelateria in the centre of Vicenza, one of Northern Italy's beautiful historic cities, was purchased by the seller after the Covid pandemic in 2021. It was converted into a bar-gelateria and its commercial surface was increased significantly over the past two years, with important investments in new equipment. It has a very motivated and experienced team. In 2022, a spin-off B2B business for gelato was created, and in order to focus on the growth of this business, the seller has decided to sell the Vicenza location, with the strong wish to help its new owner(s) develop and grow the bar gelateria further, under the joint brand name.
