How I turned my love of 'real fruit' ice cream into $650K in sales

In 2021, Nico Vergara sank all the money he earned playing the stock market and working in the service industry into an ice cream cart. Now, Nico's Ice Cream has two brick-and-mortar locations in Portland, OR. At the age of 23, he's bringing in $650,000 in annual sales. Update: This story has been updated to reflect that Vergara worked at Zeds Real Fruit Ice Cream before launching his business. It has also been updated to remove an earlier reference to Vergara taking a trip to New Zealand.
