“I grew up in Southern California and my family has always been passionate about delicious frozen treats – whether it be ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato, anything! When our family first experienced Handel’s, we knew we needed to be part of the brand. We opened our first location in 2018 in Orange County and are so excited to continue expanding the brand for more communities to enjoy,” Cole Kesler, Co-owner of Handel’s Thousand Oaks. “We look forward to celebrating our newest location with area Thousand Oaks residents and visitors!”

The 1,800-square-foot store is located at The Oaks Mall, next to the AMC theaters. It offers walk-up windows for easy ordering, a beautiful outdoor courtyard, and an Ice Cream Making Window where guests can watch ice cream being made.

Handel’s Thousand Oaks will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
“Thousand Oaks is an amazing, family-oriented community. It is one of the most beautiful areas in the greater Los Angeles area known for upscale shopping and fantastic restaurants. We’re thrilled to add to this community with one of the most beautiful Handel’s we’ve ever built,” said Joseph Ogden, Co-owner of Handel’s Thousand Oaks.
