    Thank you very much for your assistant, I have tried venturing into the ice cream business, but I left it in the management of my cousin who messed the product up for me. I intended to sell my brand name, giving them the quality ice cream they deserve. It has been my dream since I was a kid and I still intend opening an ice cream joint as soon as possible. This time, I will surely see to the everyday running of the place. Where I intend to locate this ice cream joint is in a college/university environment, my target market is the university students because I intend to sell along side the ice cream, shawarma, fast and delicious noodles. Please with all I have said, if you find it necessary to still advice me more, I will appreciate very well. The location of the place is: gwagwalada, Abuja, Nigeria. Thank you so much, I anticipate your reply.
