ENJOY THE SWEET LIFE WITH LICK ICE CREAM™

Are you seeking a sought-after modern dessert concept that delivers a quick return on investment? LICK Ice Cream™ is your answer. Our creamery serves a diverse range of flavors and offerings, such as ice cream (including vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and no sugar added options), brownies, milkshakes, and more. With expert guidance and training from the LICK Ice Cream™ management team, you can master our hand-crafted and fresh creamery concept, and savor life’s experiences with us.

LICK Ice Cream™ is the brainchild of a dynamic mother-daughter duo, Brittany McCorkle and Gwen Barton, who founded the business with a mission to introduce a fresh, creative, and unique ice cream experience to their community. After exploring different cities and dessert shops across the East Coast, they were inspired to bring the ultimate ice cream experience to their hometown. Thus, “The LICK Experience” was born, featuring premium quality ice cream and a memorable, immersive environment.

LICK Ice Cream™ opened its first location in Columbia, South Carolina in 2020 and has since expanded to include an additional location in Lexington, SC, with another one on the way in Greenville. These stores have become fixtures in their respective communities, serving up premium ice cream and milkshakes while prioritizing an immersive and unforgettable customer experience.

Based on our phenomenal operational success, LICK Ice Cream™ is now launching a franchise program to bring The LICK Experience nationwide. LICK Ice Cream™ intends to create a nationally branded franchise concept by establishing consistent, simple methods of operation, exclusive recipes, policies, and procedures that ensure high quality product and customer service, and a strong franchise support structure.
