Twistee Treat, the iconic Northeast Philadelphia ice cream shop, is going up for sale for $150,000, writes the FOX 29 staff.
The shop is known for its 27-foot-tall cone-shaped building in Mayfair.
Mohammed Nasher, owner of Twistee Treat since last August, said he is preferably looking for a buyer from the nearby community who can run the business.
He noted that there are three years left on the building’s lease, including a fifth-year option, and a competitive rent price.
The new owner would take over the shop, all equipment, social media accounts, some licenses, and the opportunity to keep on five employees. The buyer would then have to pay $1,800 monthly in rent.
Nasher said he is selling Twistee Treat in order to spend more time with his young children, focus on his other businesses, which include two Philadelphia-based car dealerships and a mechanic’s shop.
“If I don’t find a buyer, I’ll keep it, it’s not the end of the world,” Nasher said. “I figured if I can give this to somebody else who is going to run it and they’ve gotta make sure they put in the time and effort.”
