Since 1952, Dari Delite has been the heartbeat of
Hicksville — loved through every name change, every
decade, and three generations of loyal customers. When
closure threatened in 2024, regional TV and newspapers
ran the story. That's not a business. That's a community
institution. Your ONLY competition is McDonald's ice
cream! Hicksville deserves better!
Positioned at the prime corner of State Routes 49 and 2,
directly across from Hicksville High School, this fully
equipped turnkey operation is the only independent food
and ice cream destination in town. Top-of-the-line Taylor
soft serve machines, updated equipment, dairy-free Dole
Whip, online ordering, and a heated building for year-round
revenue — everything comes with the sale.
The upside is where it gets exciting. Bring an ethnic flair
food menu paired with the traditional grill menus, a farmto-
cone local concept, or that coastal flavor you
discovered on vacation. With the right licensing, a craft
beer-and-dessert float concept — already generating buzz
in Columbus and Cincinnati — could unlock a new evening
revenue stream in a market with no competition.
