Cauldron Ice Cream going to Ontario

January 5, 2018

Cauldron Ice Cream, a Southern California-based concept that serves made-to-order nitrogen ice cream, has announced a multi-unit franchise deal with Toronto residents, Serena Sun and Alex Wang, to bring five Cauldron locations to the Toronto, Ontario, area. The franchisees are looking to open their first store in downtown Toronto or Mississauga by Summer 2018, according to a company press release.

Sun and Wang are experienced franchisees, who own and operate Chinese food restaurants in Canada and China. They split their time between Orange County and Toronto, and first discovered Cauldron at its flagship location in Santa Ana. Their international franchise experience and love of the concept's handcrafted ice cream inspired them to bring Cauldron to Toronto.

"Every time we're in Orange County, we always make a point to stop by Cauldron to get our ice cream fix," Sun said. “When we were in Toronto, we noticed a gap in the market for innovative, high-quality ice cream like Cauldron's. The concept is fun, fresh, and most importantly, delicious, and we wholeheartedly believe that it will be a hit in the Toronto community.”

Founded in 2015, by Terence Lioe and Desiree Le, Cauldron now operates locations in various Southern California cities: Santa Ana, Artesia, and Glendale, with Chino Hills and San Diego on the way. It will open five locations in Northern California's Santa Clara County beginning in mid-to-late 2018.
