The business model includes diversified service through trucks, bikes, carts, and fixed freezer units for events, emphasizing premium quality and community engagement.

Challenge

Moop Gelato required comprehensive expansion support including manufacturing facility development, retail distribution, and catering services. The company needed expert guidance on site selection, facility design, regulatory compliance, and operational diversification while maintaining artisanal quality standards and developing new revenue streams.
