A Sweet Deal: Jersey Shore Ice Cream Shop Seeks New Owners
Little's Dairy Barn: A Sweet Opportunity
Price: $1.2 million Includes:
- The shop and its equipment
- 1.17-acre property
- A newly renovated two-bedroom home
A Local Favorite for 50 Years
Located on Zion Road in Egg Harbor Township, Little's Dairy Barn has been a seasonal favorite since the 1970s. Open from late March to late September, the shop attracts long lines of customers and even has a waiting list for employees.
The LaPorte Family's Legacy
The current owners, the LaPorte family, have run the business since 1998. After 27 years, they are ready to retire and pass the torch to new owners. Listing agent Chris Losco has been showing the property to pre-qualified buyers and has received several offers.
The Ranch-Style Home
The property includes a fully renovated ranch-style home featuring:
- New heating, cooling, electric, plumbing, siding, roofing, and windows
- Primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom
- Walk-up attic and a half basement
- Potential rental income of $2,500 per month or use by the business owner
Market Value and Community Hope
The median sale price of a single-family home in Egg Harbor Township was $435,000 in October, making the asking price for Little's Dairy Barn significantly higher. This reflects the value of the business and its property.
The community hopes that the new owners will maintain the shop's charm and possibly expand the business. Losco believes that whoever buys the shop will want to preserve its status as a local staple.
