A scoop of nostalgia is up for grabs as the iconic Four Seas Ice Cream in Centerville has hit the market. Nestled on Cape Cod, the beloved creamery with a history dating back to 1934 is on sale for $3.1 million, ready for a new owner to ladle out its creamy delights after its current proprietors decided to call it a day. The Cape Cod Times reports that the owners are looking to retire, with hopes that Four Seas will continue to swirl its legacy under new management.

With a legacy as rich as its dessert offerings, the shop is situated at 360 S Main Street, a quaint stone's throw away from one of Cape Cod's picturesque beaches. Four Seas has been the go-to spot for locals and tourists, serving up old-fashioned ice cream sundaes, sodas, frappes, and a cornucopia of sweet treats. Among the homemade flavors, Four Seas touts classics such as fresh peach and black raspberry, not to mention originals like the chip chocolate—a genius concoction where melted chocolate hardens upon meeting the frosty ice cream.

It's not just the ice cream that's made Four Seas a household name. Their lobster salad sandwich has earned a spot in the pantheon of local eats, drawing in crowds looking for a savory break from the sugar rush. On top of that, the creamery has flexed its innovative muscles, creating unique flavors for businesses across the region, from the Kennedys' preferred mocha without chips to exotic green tea, as detailed on their official website.

Recognition has followed Four Seas like a kid chasing an ice cream truck. The establishment's scoops have landed in the nation's top ten lists across several national publications, a testament to their continued dedication to quality and flavor innovation over the years. Recently flinging open its doors year-round, Four Seas now offers its delectable quarts and ice cream cakes throughout the chilly months, previously unheard of until two years ago when the seasonal close became a tale of the past.

For those looking to scoop a permanent piece of Four Seas, merchandise is on offer, ranging from clothing to gift certificates—memorable keepsakes for fans of this storied spot. As the owners gear up to pass the cone to a new keeper, there's a palpable hope threading through the Cape Cod community that this local treasure, which has seen children turn into parents and then grandparents, will keep its charm and churn for generations to come.
