Get ready for a sweet surprise! The highly anticipated Twistee Treat is making its way to The Villages, and it's an ice cream lover's dream come true.
The iconic cone-shaped building is taking shape, and it's an exciting development for the community. This new Twistee Treat location is more than just an ice cream shop; it's a symbol of the brand's expansion and a convenient treat for locals.
But here's where it gets controversial... The site, located at Pinellas Plaza, is almost ready to serve up its delicious treats. With a dedicated drive-through lane and ample parking, it's designed to cater to the busy CR 466A corridor.
And this is the part most people miss: Twistee Treat's journey to The Villages has been an interesting one. Founded over four decades ago in North Fort Myers, the brand has had its fair share of ups and downs. After a period of rapid expansion in the '80s, the company faced bankruptcy, leading to a unique franchise structure. But in 2010, a significant shift occurred when Twistee Treat USA, LLC took control, ensuring all future locations would be corporately owned.
The new Twistee Treat in The Villages will offer a range of classic treats, from soft-serve cones and cups to specialty items like waffle tacos and brownie boat cups. It's a menu that's sure to satisfy all sweet tooth cravings.
With an outdoor patio and a convenient drive-through, this location is set to become a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. No more traveling to Tavares for your Twistee Treat fix!
