Royal Scoop has been a Southwest Florida favorite for approximately 50 years, known for its handcrafted, super-premium homemade ice cream and strong regional following. Now, a buyer has the opportunity to acquire an existing Royal Scoop location in South Naples without the time, expense, and uncertainty of building a new ice cream shop from scratch.
Opened in 2025, this fully built-out location sits along Collier Boulevard near a growing commercial intersection, with a new Costco development expected to bring additional shopping activity and attention to the surrounding area.
The business offers a recognizable regional brand, an established retail presence, a completed buildout, and the equipment needed to continue operations immediately.
Investment Highlights
- Established Southwest Florida brand: Royal Scoop has approximately 50 years of local history, with multiple retail locations and a regional customer following.
- Emerging South Naples location: Positioned along the Collier Boulevard corridor near a developing commercial intersection and the new Costco project.
- Turnkey operation: Fully built-out ice cream shop with existing equipment, fixtures, and inventory.
- Avoid the startup process: Step into an operating location without starting from an empty retail space, coordinating construction, or purchasing an entire equipment package.
- Local marketing opportunities: Potential to expand neighborhood awareness through community partnerships, local events, catering, and targeted marketing.
- Owner-operator opportunity: Well suited for an engaged owner who enjoys customer service, community involvement, and operating a neighborhood retail business.
Opportunity for the Next Owner
This is a relatively new location with an established regional brand behind it. The store is still developing its customer base and operating performance, creating an opportunity for a hands-on buyer with a longer-term view of the South Naples market.
Rather than investing the time and capital required to launch a new concept, the next owner can focus on daily operations, building repeat business, and becoming a familiar destination as the surrounding commercial corridor continues to develop.
