🍦 National Recognition for a North Carolina Retailer

Jul 29, 2026 | News

National recognition like this can have a real impact on retail traffic. 📈

Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream in Charlotte was recently recognized by National Geographic as the No. 1 ice cream shop on the planet.

🏢 Awards like this can drive destination traffic, increase surrounding retail activity, and strengthen the appeal of an entire shopping center—not just a single tenant.

For shopping center owners and retailers, it’s a reminder that the right anchor or destination concept can create value well beyond its own four walls.
