# Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream Opens First Central Florida Location in Winter Park

**TL;DR:** Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream has opened its first Central Florida location in Winter Park, owned and operated by franchisee Christopher Wirth. The brand is expanding in the region, with a second location planned in Lake Nona later this year.

## Story

“We are so excited to bring Chill-N to the Orlando area,” said Christopher Wirth, owner of Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream Winter Park. “The ice cream is smoother than anything you’ve ever tasted before. Come try for yourself this Saturday where we’ll be giving away free scoops all day during our grand opening.”

Here’s how Chill-N works: customers choose a portion size, then an ice cream base (milk, yogurt, or alt-milk option – coconut, almond, or oat) and then a flavor. Then the fun begins with the addition of Mix-N’s: premium toppings including candies, cookies and cereal, fresh fruit, sauces, nuts, and more. Each scoop of ice cream is hand-crafted to order, and flash frozen on the spot using liquid nitrogen at a startling -320° Fahrenheit. Chill-N’s unique freezing process results in a fresh ice cream that is ridiculously rich and decadently creamy.

“This marks our first Sunshine State location outside of South Florida and we couldn’t be more excited to make our Orlando debut in Winter Park,” said David Leonardo, CEO of Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream. “Central Florida is a prime development market for us, and we feel grateful to have an operator like Chris ushering us into this new region. We look forward to his continued growth with our brand with the opening of his second location in Lake Nona later this year.”

The new Winter Park Chill-N is open Sundays – Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m.
