Anyone run an ice cream stand???

[joeybags73]

Hi All,
Has anyone here had experience in running their own ice cream stand?

My first job at 16 was working the window and inside parlor area. Then I moved onto shift supervisor where I got to learn some ins and outs of the business and how to deal with managing teenage help. Needless to say I've seen everything and met every kind of person you could possibly meet in my 6 years working there. My main goal is to invest in real estate, but I've always had a passion for the ice cream biz. I don't know what it is, but I just enjoyed it and think I could run it as a business even though I've been away from it for 15 years.

If you've run your own stand how did it go?

Any advice you could give someone like me?

Thanks!
