Cauldron opening in San Diego

March 6, 2018

Cauldron Ice Cream, an Orange County-based shop known for its made-to-order nitrogen ice cream, will open its first San Diego store in April. The shop, 4646 Convoy St., is in the Kearny Mesa neighborhood, a hotspot for new concepts and emerging food trends, according to a company press release. The San Diego location is the first of three stores to open under Cauldron Collective, a franchise organization comprised of James Ho, Dan Nguyen, and Steven Cao. 

"First and foremost, we were drawn to Cauldron Ice Cream because we are huge fans of the product and the amazing brand culture the founders created," James Ho, founder and CEO of Cauldron Collective, said in the release. "We felt there was no better neighborhood for Cauldron’s entrance into San Diego than Kearny Mesa, with its large population of families, close proximity to three major universities, and existing community of restaurants that will complement the Cauldron concept well."

Since its conception in 2015, Cauldron has grown to five unit and has 11 shops pending in Irvine, Santa Clara County and Toronto with additional franchise deals currently in the works.
