An ice cream shop that operated for decades out of a signature pink building in Belleview has reopened with a new name and new ownership.
Manny’s Ice Cream Shop has officially taken over the former location of Ms. Steve’s at 5803 County Road 484 in Belleview. Also known as The Pink Place, Ms. Steve’s Ice Cream officially closed its doors on March 31.
Manny’s Ice Cream Shop hosted its grand opening celebration just under two months after that on May 22.
In a statement issued to Ocala-News.com, the business acknowledged its predecessor’s special place in the local community and said it is committed to enhancing that experience and making it even better.
The new business features soft-serve and over a dozen and a half hand-scooped ice cream varieties. Ice cream can be purchased in a cone, cup, or in milkshakes, floats, malts, sundaes, banana splits, and slushies.
Ice cream flavors include moose tracks, cotton candy, coffee, butter pecan, Superman, rocky road, key lime pie, coconut, and caramel cheesecake, among others. There are also no-sugar and no-dairy options as well.
In addition to ice cream, the business also sells frozen bananas, cheesecake, and hot dogs.
Manny’s Ice Cream Shop currently operates from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information on the new business, or to follow it on social media, visit Manny’s Ice Cream Shop on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
