Hi rohanp
I'm in the same boat wanting to start off an ice cream parlor without ANY previous knowledge. I cannot afford a franchise, nor do I want to buy business software before I convince myself that it is VIABLE. Maybe you are interested in "swopping notes" as we go along? I'm doing lots of reading currently... just a thought

Hey there! have you considered a franchise like coldstone? its a hit around my parts here in maryland

Well, the first thing you've got to ask is whether you will be making ice cream yourself, selling others ice cream, whether you are thinking of a shop etc... heck, even an ice cream van.

Secondly, a bit of market research... asking people what they like (your friends and family etc). A franchise is a good idea.
