May 13, 2025 // Franchising.com // BURBANK, CA -- Southern California is getting a little sweeter with the opening of a new Handel’s Ice Cream, just in time for the brand's 80th anniversary. The brand will open its latest location in Burbank and celebrate with a grand opening on Thursday, May 15. To celebrate the first 50 guests will receive free ice cream for a year*.

Husband-and-wife duo Phil and Molly Kaye lead the Burbank Handel's. The couple opened their first Handel's in Los Feliz, where they currently reside with their young family. Phil is a professional writer and runs a youth poetry organization called Project VOICE, and Molly is a marriage and family therapist who works with parents and families.

“We opened our first location a year ago in Los Feliz, within walking distance from our home, and we loved it so much, that we wanted to do it again,” said Phil Kaye, Co-owner of the Burbank Handel’s Ice Cream. “Molly and I are finding new things to love in every step of the process. We have an amazing team that’s excited to make and scoop ice cream. They’re just as enthusiastic as we are about connecting with customers and bringing a little simple pleasure and happiness into whatever is happening in their lives.”

The location features classic and seasonal flavors such as Black Cherry, Blue Monster, Butter Pecan and Rocky Mocha Blast. Each Handel’s shop features 48 rotating flavors that are made fresh daily in-store.

Handel’s promotes a culture of community service. Stores across the country, including the new Burbank location, offer spirit nights, ice cream socials, and other fundraising opportunities to help local causes.

“We’ve worked with schools and young folks throughout our lives, Phil as a poetry ambassador and I as a special education teacher, and we plan to do the same with our new location,” said Molly Kaye, Co-Owner of the Burbank Handel’s Ice Cream. “We look forward to partnering with local schools and organizations to help raise funds on their behalf, all with a little help from ice cream.”

*Must be 18 years or older to receive the Free Ice Cream for a Year offer.
