Choudry Ali, owner of the popular Magic Fountain ice cream shop in Mattituck, said he is trying to sell the business because he and his wife, Journey, want to relocate to St. George, Utah, a place they’ve visited often and fell in love with, he said.

“We both love the mountains out there and have had property out there for a while,” Ali said. “You have to go where you’re going to enjoy life, you know?”

Since 2007, Ali has wowed ice cream lovers from near and far with his unique homemade ice cream flavors such as olive oil, goat cheese and even Guinness as well as standard flavors of scoops and soft serve. The business has stood for over four decades as an ice cream shop on the corner of Route 25 and Factory Avenue and began its life as a Dairy Queen.

“It’s a great opportunity, and Ali has asked that anyone interested reach out to us directly,” said Scott Bennett, a real estate agent with Prudential Douglas Elliman in Mattituck.

Ali said that the magic of his Magic Fountain will live on in a different part of the country — he is in the process of opening another ice cream shop in Utah. But he said he will miss Mattituck and the rest of the North Fork.

“Business has never been bad here, it was just time for a change,” he said. “My wife grew up here, that's why we bought this place. It’s beautiful out here.”

Ali said he hopes someone with an entrepreneurial spirit will continue to make great ice cream for the Mattituck community. Magic Fountain is listed at $695,000. Other specs include:

·	Business Type: Restaurant
·	DBA: Magic Fountain
·	Business Age: 46
·	Lease Years: 25


·	Zoning: Gen Bus
·	Lot Size: .12
·	Taxes: $3,780
·	Village Taxes:
·	Total Taxes: $3,780
·	Parking: 8

The sale will include all equipment, ready to operate. Call Scott Bennett directly at 631-298-6143 or email sbennett@elliman.com if you are interested in the property.

First Carvel closes, now this? Will the horrors never end?

What are we to do for our soft ice cream fixes?
Someone please buy this place. If anything you can keep the Magic Fountain going, or, I hear the building would make a heck of a Dairy Queen.
