An ice cream chain with roots dating back more than 80 years is planning its first Rio Grande Valley location in McAllen, according to state construction records and the company’s published store directory.
Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream plans to open a 2,607-square-foot shop at 7501 N. 10th St., Suite 20, with an estimated $250,000 investment in the space.
The project was registered Oct. 20 with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Construction is scheduled to begin Dec. 1 and finish Feb. 15, 2027, although the company has not announced an opening date.
