Summer = Ice Cream. 🍦 And, it is BIG business. In 2023, the global ice cream market hit $76 billion according to Fortune Business Insights™ Retailers are always working to sweeten the deal for consumers by offering limited edition flavors, private brands, promotional coupons and even Publix Super Markets is hitting the road with an ice cream truck in select states.
