## Story

We all scream for ice cream, and come this fall there will be another option for New Yorkers to grab themselves a sweet frozen treat. Or, better yet, have it delivered to their door.

**Scoop N Scootery**, an ice cream delivery franchise, will open its first New York City location in September at **Acram Group**’s **162 Bleecker Street** in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. The ice cream company signed a 15-year, 1,325-square-foot lease for the property’s ground-floor retail space, according to landlord broker **Lee & Associates** **NYC**.

Asking rent for the space was $175 per square foot. **Mark Kapnick** and **Jordan Cohen** from Lee represented the landlord, while **Lucas Kooyman** from **Alvarez & Marsal Property Solutions** represented the tenant. Kooyman did not immediately respond to Commercial Observer’s request for comment.

“New York City is a milestone market for any growing retail brand, and there’s no better place to make that debut than Bleecker Street,” Kapnick said in a statement. “Scoop N Scootery wanted a location that immediately establishes its presence in one of the country’s most recognized retail corridors. With exceptional foot traffic, an outstanding mix of food-and-beverage operators and very little available space, Bleecker Street checked every box.”

Founded over 10 years ago, Scoop N Scootery started with two guys — **Austin Crittenden** and **Sean Sally** — and an ice cream truck. After a year and a half of working out of a food truck — and literally delivering ice cream by scooter — Crittenden and Sally opened their first brick-and-mortar location in Arlington, Va. Now, the franchise has locations in Massachusetts, Florida, Texas, New Jersey and North Carolina.

162 Bleecker Street is an 11-story, commercial building between Sullivan and Thompson streets. It’s unclear whether Scoop N Scootery will replace current retail tenant **Li-Lac Chocolates** in its new spot.
