Business Description
Seasonal or year-round business: make money either way.
Have you ever dreamed of having your own bistro/ice cream shop? This is your chance to own the best of the best. While just 3 years old, this high-volume, high-visibility business has experienced 33% growth year after year with its quality ice cream, burgers, and sandwiches. Popular with both locals and visitors, they are well-known for their amazing burgers, fries, and homemade ice cream. Some customers make the 1-hour drive from neighboring towns for the quality meals served at Two Cows Creamery & Bistro. Prime location in the center of town on the main street with huge summer Black Hills tourism traffic. Hot Springs is one of the key tourism towns in the Black Hills, close to Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse Memorial, Wind Cave, and many more attractions. Excellent turn-key opportunity with a big upside to expand the hours and build sales and profits!
The foundation of the business is based on “Farm to Table,” where the meats, dairy, and produce in the shop, meals, and ice cream are sourced directly from local farms. All the ice cream is handcrafted in-house and includes ice cream, gelato, and sorbets—over 120 recipes. The original 1931 hardwood floor and large picture windows in the dining room bring warmth to the shop, welcoming the patrons.
A portion of the store is a "local farmers market," where customers can purchase meat and produce from local farms. This provides an additional revenue stream as well as diversification for the business.
The business has been featured in 605 Magazine (see documents) as a destination not to miss in Hot Springs. Additionally, Google reviews give it a 5-star rating consistently. When you ask a local where the best food in town is, they will tell you about Two Cows Creamery & Bistro.
