Ice Cream Buggy is bringing icy treats to the streets for Mumbaikars

As the summers get hotter, the quest for an icy reprieve can be all consuming. So it can only be considered good news that you can quench your cravings at the mobile Ice Cream Buggy -Cool Vans. A unique concept, these vans serve treats including scoops, sundaes, ice-cream cakes, ice-cream sandwiches, ice-cream pizza, floats and milkshakes.

After the successful launch of the first Ice Cream Buggy in Bengaluru, this city-based startup has started operating more than 30 buggies in more than 20 cities and will be expanding operations across India.

Taking the show on the road Rohit Kakde Rao, Founder, Chairman and Managing Director of Street Treat Concepts, which owns Ice Cream Buggy, says, “In early 2012, when I failed miserably with the ice-cream store and kiosk formats, I realised that the fixed monthly overheads were killing the business. That's when I started to think out of the box and decided to start my first ice-cream food truck. With constant power cuts, it was a challenge to keep the ice-creams from melting, but after several failed attempts, I successfully launched our first buggy in Bengaluru, which can operate without power supply for more than 15 hours.“

“We celebrate our fourth anniversary this month and it's a pleasure to have such a big family of franchisees operating in Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and many others,“ he said.

Franchisees sparkle Shounak Pal, the Kolkata city master franchise, says, “It's awesome being a franchise of the `coolest' venture in India. From the day my buggy set its wheels on the road, I've gotten a huge response from people across the 8-80 years' age band.“ “I was not a big fan of ice-cream until I got associated with Ice Cream Buggy. Lovely ice-creams with the right little touches. The feedback from my customers is heartwarming as they claim that our icecreams can easily beat the current leading brands,“ said Siddhanth Jain, the Delhi city master franchise.
