Handel’s Ice Cream Expands in Northwest Las Vegas with New Centennial Location

Grand Opening May 14; Northwest Las Vegas Owners Celebrate Long-Awaited Third Local Shop

LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, May 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Handel’s Ice Cream, the beloved brand serving ice cream since 1945, is officially expanding its Nevada footprint. The newest location is in Northwest Las Vegas at 6491 North Durango Drive, near Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center. The shop will celebrate its official Grand Opening on Thursday, May 14.

The Grand Opening festivities start with a balloon artist from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. From 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., guests can spin the prize wheel for a chance to win delicious treats, including free cones, pints, quarts, ice cream sandwiches, milkshakes, and hurricanes.

The new location is owned and operated by Mandy Trotter. This opening marks a significant milestone for the family, joining their successful locations at Charleston & Fort Apache and Decatur & Rice. After moving to the Northwest Las Vegas area from Utah four years ago, the Trotters are now opening their third Las Vegas shop, a project they have been eager to complete since signing their very first lease with the brand.

"We fell in love with the ice cream and the brand when our daughter worked for Handel’s in high school," said Mandy Trotter, Owner of Handel’s Northwest Las Vegas. "My husband has always been inquisitive, asking the owner questions every time we went in. One day, he came home and said, ‘We’re going to open up an ice cream store. Now, nearly ten years later, we are so excited to finally open the doors to this specific location for the community."

The 1,800-square-foot scoop shop will offer 48 rotating flavors, pickup and delivery through DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Postmates, and catering services. The shop will be open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Beyond premium treats, the owners aim to support local schools and organizations through fundraising and partnerships, and to be a trusted employer for local youth.
