Openings and Closings: Uli’s Kitchen Opens, One Fifth Pivots Again

Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream, 4495 Riley Fuzzel, is expected to open in The Woodlands this August. This will be the second Houston area location for the Ohio-based ice cream chain. The first Houston shop opened at 8715 Spring Cypress November 2020.

Handel’s was founded in Youngstown, Ohio in 1945. Using quality ingredients and making the ice cream fresh daily has resulted in a fan base that has allowed it to open 60 franchised locations nationwide. There’s a wide variety of flavors including Blueberry Cobbler, Strawberry Cheesecake, Coffee Heath, Banana Cream, Mud Pie and dozens more. For those who cannot decide, there’s a four-scoop sampler for $5.50. Handel’s also offers waffle cones that can be dipped, shakes, ice cream sandwiches and its Hurricanes which are similar to DQ’s you-know-what with a selection of candy and cookie mix-ins.

The lease was secured by Robert Bernard of SRS Real Estate Partners. The ice cream shop will join Regal Cinemas at the Regal Benders Landing development off Grand Parkway and Riley Fuzzel.
