According to a recently filed permit, ice cream shop Dulce Vida Ice Cream Factory appears to be making plans to open its fifth Columbus area location. Per language in the permit, the work to be performed will include converting an existing retail space to a restaurant space. The scope of work includes a new kitchen, ice cream selection area, two new bathrooms, office and a new walk-in cooler, as well as new lights in the kitchen and bathrooms.
The project scope also includes some HVAC and electrical work, as well as work to add some new non-bearing interior walls and doors. All in all, the work is projected to cost $95,000, per the permit filing.
Currently, there are four Dulce Vida Ice Cream Factory locations in the Columbus area, 4201 W Broad St, 6146 Cleveland Ave, 7370 Sawmill Rd and 461 W Main St, in Plain City. Owned by Irma Nunez, Dulce Vida Ice Cream Factory serves 40 ice cream flavors and according to its website, the company makes all its ice cream, along with serving paletas and Mexican street food at its locations.
It’s unclear when the Hamilton Road location will open, or what the square footage will be at the Hamilton Road location and What Now Columbus reached out to ownership to learn more details, but a request for comment was not returned at the time of this article’s publication.
