If you’ve ever dreamed of quitting your day job and spending your days scooping happiness by the pint, this might just be your moment.
Glad’s Gelateria—Salt Spring Island’s go-to spot for artisan gelato and sorbetto—is officially up for grabs. Located at 101 Purvis Lane in the heart of Ganges, this beloved business is known for crafting small-batch gelato with big flavour.
And now, it’s looking for a new owner to take the reins.
Glad’s has become a staple for locals and tourists alike, serving up cones and cups that taste like summer no matter the season. It’s nestled in a high-traffic zone with loads of visibility (translation: built-in foot traffic), and it’s not just an ice cream shop—it’s a turnkey business with serious potential.
Currently listed at $275,000, the sale includes the full operation, from the in-house manufacturing setup to the retail space that’s oozing with charm. The current owners are moving on to a new adventure, and they’re leaving behind a scoop-worthy opportunity for someone ready to make their gelato dreams come true.
There’s plenty of room to grow, too. Think branded retail pints, a franchise expansion, or even adding espresso and baked treats to keep things buzzing through the cooler months. Whether you’re a foodie, entrepreneur, or someone just craving a lifestyle change, this Salt Spring gem could be your perfect match.
If you’re ready to turn a passion for sweet treats into a career, reach out to Julian Bruce at Macdonald Realty Salt Spring Island to learn more.
In the words of the shop itself—every scoop is a taste of happiness. So why not make it your business?
