One ice cream shop may soon take the place of another in an Overland Park space.

Ohio-based Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream has filed plans to remodel and move into a space near the Oak Park Mall in Overland Park — where Freezing Moo used to be.

Handel’s eyeing spot at 11885 W. 95th St.

• The ice cream company is considering plans to open a spot on the southeast corner of 95th Street and Quivira Road, where Overland Park meets Lenexa.
• The space is wedged between fast-casual eateries BIBIBOP Asian Grill and CAVA.
• Freezing Moo, a shop serving rolled ice cream and other treats, previously occupied that space before closing sometime in 2023.

Handel’s offers frozen sweet treats in various forms

• The ice cream shop offers a wide variety of flavors, from bananas foster and coconut cream pie to salty caramel truffle and vanilla raspberry chip.
• Customers can opt for a cup or cone for their ice cream, or they can take it in a milkshake.
• Handel’s also serves other treats like “hurricanes” (blended vanilla ice cream with a variety of toppings mixed in), sundaes, and “handel pops” (chocolate-covered ice cream pops on a stick).

This marks the first Handel’s location in Johnson County

• The Overland Park location would also serve as the first in the wider Kansas City metro area for the Ohio-based company.
• Handel’s was founded in 1945 in Youngstown, Ohio, and now has locations in several states across the country.
• As of right now, the closest Handel’s store to the Kansas City area is in Rogers, Arkansas.
