Brand Summary

Stella’s Ice Cream began with a simple dream—Chad and Brittney Hartley wanted to create a place where friends and families could gather to enjoy premium homemade ice cream and baked goods, experience local entertainment, and celebrate the talents of local dessert makers. What started as a single shop inspired by their loyal bulldog Stella has grown into a beloved brand with four corporate locations and many franchise locations coming soon! At Stella’s, we believe ice cream should do more than taste good—it should spread joy. We serve happiness with every scoop, embracing creativity, celebrating inclusivity, and constantly pushing the boundaries of what dessert can be. From our scoop shops to event carts, custom cakes to ice cream pies, mobile trucks to restaurant collaborations, Stella’s offers a range of exciting and profitable revenue streams. Now, you can join this growing movement. As a Stella’s Ice Cream franchisee, you’ll receive everything you need to build a thriving business and become a valued part of your community. From proven training systems and marketing materials to expert guidance and day-to-day support, we’ve taken the guesswork out of getting started. Our franchise model is designed to help you launch quickly, grow sustainably, and avoid the costly mistakes of going it alone. Owning a Stella’s isn’t just about serving ice cream—it’s about making people’s day, building connections, and being proud of the impact you make. Let’s build something sweet together.
