An ice cream chain that set up shop in Bend in 2023 now appears to be coming to Redmond, too. A sign announcing that a Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream will soon be coming to the Hub City has been placed inside the commercial building at SW 5th and Forest Avenue in downtown Redmond.

Handel’s, first opened in 1945 in Ohio, serves up fresh ice cream that it makes daily on site at each location. The company operates a handful of locations in Oregon, including one on S. Hwy. 97, on the south side of Bend. Handel’s did not respond to inquiries about an opening date by press time.
