Hong Kong – Singapore’s premium ice cream brand, The Ice Cream & Cookie Co. (ICC), has unveiled its first international flagship store in Hong Kong, marking a significant step in its expansion across the Greater Bay Area and North Asia.
Situated in the vibrant Gough Street, Central’s trendy shopping and dining hub, the two-story flagship store serves up scoops, pints, and sandwiches for takeout, along with a diverse selection of coffee, tea, ice cream, desserts, and more, all available to enjoy in its inviting bistro-style seating area.
Arnold Lau, associate director-general of investment promotion at Invest Hong Kong, said, “Hong Kong people are health conscious and demand high-quality food. Together with its strategic location providing an unparalleled bridge between the Mainland and the rest of the world, it is the ideal place for ICC to expand in the region. We wish the brand every success in Hong Kong and beyond.”
Natasha Chiam, co-founder of ICC, also shared, “We are so excited to bring our delicious, much-loved ice cream creations to Hong Kong, our second international market and the first with its very own concept store. This expansion is a significant step towards our vision of becoming the leading better for you ice cream company across Asia.”
She explained, “Hong Kong is not only situated in the heart of Asia but is also on the doorstep of Mainland China and part of the GBA. We will use the city as our North Asia headquarters, with a focus on overseeing the operations in Hong Kong as well as managing our expansion to other regions in the Greater Bay Area and North Asia.”
“Hong Kong’s sophisticated consumer market closely mirrors Singapore’s in terms of taste and demand for quality, so we consider it a great fit for our premium ice cream products. Renowned for our signature ice cream sandwiches and pints, we also offer unique Asian-inspired flavours as well as a wide range of plant-based and diary-free options,” she added.
ICC’s products are also stocked in supermarkets and convenience stores across Hong Kong.
