360 South Main Street Centerville, Cape Cod MA | Ice Cream Business & Real Estate SOLD December 4, 2024

“Founded in 1934, Four Seas Ice Cream claims
its name from a poem “Cape Cod Calls”. For
anyone who calls the Cape home or visits in the
warmer months, Four Seas Ice Cream is an
iconic summer tradition. Established in a
former blacksmith shop, it is the third-oldest
ice cream parlor in New England. In 2000
Doug and Peggy Warren purchased the shop
from Doug’s own parents who met and fell in
love in 1956 while working there. They
continued the tradition of employing local
honor roll students and focused on quality ice
cream scooped with quality service. With home
made flavors ranging from peach (which is a
Kennedy favorite), to traditional flavors like
mocha chip, the Cape institution has become a
favorite of locals and celebrities alike. Blake
Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Adam Sandler, and
many more have all visited the iconic location
to taste its reputable home made dessert.
Now, as the Warrens are ready to take a step
back from their life long work, the Cape
landmark has Sold.”
