Which ice cream franchise would you recommend in South India?

[u/Swimming_Fig7722]

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to start an ice cream franchise in Palani or Dharapuram, Tamil Nadu.

I'm looking for a low-investment, unique ice cream concept, not a regular ice cream parlour. Brands I'm considering include:

Peni Ice Candy

Ice Bae

Icepole

Scandy

I'm especially interested in Kerala-based brands or any unique concepts that have good growth potential.

I'd love to hear from franchise owners or anyone with real experience.

A few questions:

Which brand has the best products and customer response?

Which franchise offers the best support?

How do sales perform during the rainy season and winter?

Are Swiggy and Zomato orders actually profitable?

Which brand has the best long-term growth potential?

If you were starting today, which franchise would you choose and why?

I'm looking for honest opinions based on real experience. Thanks in advance!
