Oxford University entrepreneur opens healthy ice cream brand pop-up

Nana Nice Cream, the non-dairy ice cream brand, has opened a pop-up shop at the Concept Store on the King’s Road in west London.

Open until 24 August, the ice cream supplier will take the full 1,178 sq ft at the dedicated pop-up space at 340 King’s Road, which is owned by property firm the Sloane Stanley Estate.

Founded by Oxford University graduate Margie Broadhead, the non-dairy, sugar-free ice cream is already stocked in a number of UK supermarkets and stores, including Iceland, and will bring a number of special twists to its first store this summer.

Customers will be able to choose from the brand’s classic soft-serve ice cream alternative, with the option to add a range of toppings and frozen bananas will also be on the menu.

Margie commented that the King’s Road’s upmarket location and high footfall might it was the perfect spot for the brand’s first pop-up concept.

She said: “It is a great opportunity for us to hold our pop-up on the iconic King’s Road, and share our passion for healthy cooking.

“The catchment is a perfect match for our brand; the area is synonymous with quality, and brilliant food and dining options so we will be in great company.

“We were also drawn due to its high footfall and appeal to both international visitors and Londoners alike, which will give us fantastic exposure to the market at this important stage in our journey.”

Hannah Grievson, Commercial Property Manager at Sloane Stanley, commented: “We are delighted Nana Nice Cream have chosen to celebrate the launch of their brand though the CONCEPT STORE on the King’s Road.

“We are confident their refined, guilt-free treats will prove popular with the discerning King’s Road shoppers, and further complement our fantastic array of industry leading café and dining options.”
