Rolled 4 Ever Ice Cream
Product Category: Food & Beverage
Website:www.rolled4ever.com
Brand Description: Founded in June of 2018 by Maliyah B. and Bariangela S., two close friends with a shared vision to bring a twist to the world of Ice Cream!
Rolled 4 Ever Ice Cream emerged during a spring break trip to New York during their junior year of college. This trip catalyzed their idea, as they discovered the concept of rolled ice cream, which they found incredibly appealing. Recognizing the potential to elevate this concept, Maliyah and Bariangela envisioned taking it a step further by making it mobile. This innovative twist led to the creation of “The Roll Bus” and later a physical store in Historic Germantown.
As Rolled 4 Ever continues to grow, the goal is to create an experience through Ice Cream that blends excitement and adventure!
