At first when I heard you were closing I got sad I knew that it was your dream and now it was being closed but after watching this I now know that yeah your ice cream shop is closing but it was still a blessing for it to be open and a beginning for a new opportunity so congrats Dylan because it’s just the beginning to keep doing what you were always good at 🤗🤗🤗
It's sad because I was heading to NYC around Thanksgiving time and was hoping to see your shop 😢 I've watched your catch an ice cream videos for a long time and love them
I went to the store while I was in NY last year, loved the ice cream cake in a cup I got. You’ve accomplished something so special, opening a physical store in NYC must have been so challenging and the only way is up from here!

You’d thrive in a warmer state with more suburban areas. I think you could still have a shop and succeed, just in a better matched market. Best of luck!
Your shop was so cool and unique! You worked hard and had a bunch of different options. This is why stores usually have a set number of flavors. Also the unique throwing slows down the service so less people get served every hour.
Poor business practices is the real reason why this business failed. Too much loss in real estate rent and loss in the customers dropping the ice cream. Plus no one is going to be paying an exorbitant amount of money for a single scoop of ice cream. He was charging more for a scoop compared to other shops. There are better competitors selling for less.
It sounds like a REALLLLLLLY hard sell in NYC with so many established classics. You can't just reinvent the wheel, you need SERIOUS talent to create an outstanding and ORIGINAL recipe. Also while I certainly can't judge at all without trying it myself, I have serious doubts about having the scoops in pre-made balls. It doesn't look very fresh when broken up. I understand it must have significant financial advantages, and you mention other benefits, but when you take shortcuts like that you often sacrifice quality in the product. The throwing thing is kind of cute, but it's ultimately a gimmick, and while probably not forced, one that probably turned some potential customers off. I don't cheer at anyone's failure, especially with something like this that is someone's dream, and it must have been very humbling as well. But I don't think he had any idea of how massive of an undertaking this actually was. There's nothing wrong with trying though and I'm glad he's moving onto other stuff 😊.
This was bittersweet. On one end, I understand why you had to close with all the facts provided in this video, but on the other, this WAS your dream. It’s something you always talked about. So watching it.. end? Hurts all the more. But then at the same time, this IS just another beginning. And I cant wait to see more from you :) big hugs from Scotland
I think that your store was amazing And I was hoping that your social media following would help more with the store itself than just being able to pay the bills for one more month. I think choosing New York was the first mistake however. With its extremely pricey leases and competition, I knew it’d be hard to keep up with esp during the winter months. I think catchn ice cream was an amazing concept and so is the cake cup creamery. I’ve never heard of a single serving ice cream cake. I know it’s hard to lose something you worked sooooo hard to get but I’m glad you got there and got the experience it. Learn from the mistakes and use them as lessons for when your next business opens. I’m hopeful for your future bro I know it’s gonna be great. I hope one day catchn ice cream gets to live on
I'm so amazed and proud of how far you've come, Dylan. You are capable of wonderful things! Keep up your positive attitude and take the next step forward with confidence 🫂

If he sticks to that and avoids committing to brick and mortar businesses in expensive, competitive areas he'll be fine.

An idea you want that you should do is get an ice cream truck and get booked at parties. You can go to their place and start doing your thing and it doesnt have to be for long. Thus gives you more time being a content creator and somewhat continue off the ice cream business but in a different way

I think you guys were in the wrong location. That place looks almost too nice for a completely new ice cream business to be in. If you had gotten a smaller spot with cheaper rent it wouldn’t have tanked as hard.
@@Chibbykinsit seems like most food businesses in large cities have this similarly off-putting signage and interior design. I can’t describe it but there’s something so unsettling about it.
@@impulse_xs not sure about most...can only really speak to what I've seen of Dylan's. But anybody that goes with this aesthetic, for an *ice cream* place, probably doesn't understand the average customer. like, where's the color, where's the warmth...
@@Chibbykins yeah I guess I’m more speaking to businesses in more upscale gentrified neighborhoods. Plenty of places in my regional cities have more inviting traditional feel. This place more feels like an Ikea inside than an ice cream place. Hell my favorite pizza place has had the same booths menu signs and interior since the 50s. Is it brightly lit? No. Is it spacious and upscale looking? No. But it’s inviting, down to earth, and the kind of place you naturally want to sit down and spend a long time with friends even after you’ve finished your food. Plus its food is simple, affordable, and tastes great!
Maybe if it was a window only kind of business it wouldn't be so expensive. Vs having a lobby with tvs and other things. A window only small shack type business is what I've always wanted to do.
I didn't catch you when I stopped by the store earlier this year when I was in NYC, but the store was really nice and unique and so were the flavours. Best of luck moving forward Dylan! 🍦

From those of us who never met you felt connected to you and your shop and we cant wait to see your next sucess. God bless you ... Thank you for inspiring us.
Watched the whole video and still don’t know why it closed. What was the expected numbers versus the actual numbers? How many cups on average were needed to be sold per day to break even? Was that number realistic? Great concept that I think would do well in California, but probably not NY. Tourism is a risky market to rely on. That rented space looked huge. Was all that space necessary? While it’s cool to want to focus on customer experience, the downside is that it means the customer spends more time in the establishment. For other businesses, that might be a good thing. For food, it’s a bad thing. You want your customers to get in and out as fast as possible. Those are just some simple concepts that should have been considered before opening. Sad so see the place go and I was rooting for you guys, but to be honest I kind of knew this place most likely wouldn’t work when I first learned about it when it opened. Still I had hope since the concept was so interesting. Good luck in your next endeavor!
If you pay attention to the first minute of this video, he said they were never supposed to throw the ice cream to people(I'm assuming because of the health department, etc.) but people kept coming in asking them to do so, so that's what they did/do...
@@user-agreement-disengaged Okay? That doesn't change the fact that it's still very unsanitary. If the business knows that it’s unsanitary, they can simply decline the customers’ request lol.
@@user-agreement-disengagedokay? and? That doesn’t change any facts. Also the name is literally “catchin’ ice cream” so i’m pretty sure that was the intended thing to do.
He's still a successful influencer lol. His mistake was trying to open a brick and mortar store in one of the most expensive cities in the world. Only creators like Mr. Beast can afford to take such risks
That’s still awesome how you were paired with an investor and got this opportunity to grow. No experience is waste, you will have new exciting opportunities that use this experience of running a business in nyc.
It has always been my dream to go to your ice cream shop but I’ve never had a chance to :( I hope to see you sometime during my life and I wish u the best of luck on your new journey! ❤
Restaurant accountant here. People don't realize how important consistency is in the restaurant business. When you go to McDonald's in Tokyo and order a Big Mac, it tastes the same as the one in New York. That's very important. I think what Mr. Beast did wrong was his burger was similar in a lot of places but not the same. Reaching out to a bunch of independent burger places to attempt branding just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. What Mr. Beast should have done was approach a single large chain like Five Guys or Wendy's and partnered with them.
This was an amazing story. You accomplished so much at such a young age. I am so sad that this is my first time hearing about your store. I would have visited if I would have known 😢
I missed the opportunity to visit, and weirdly, I’m ok with that. I wasn’t your number 1, but I was still a super huge fan since you’ve been at coldstone! I’ll miss this, but I’m ready to see your next big opportunity. I’m glad that I, and the rest of us who love your content, got to be a part of your dream.
The experience you made with Catchin’ icecream and the knowledge you gathered will be far more important in your journey, rather than just trying to make a dollar.
It's a shame the ice cream shop closed. NYC, while glamorous in the past, is not the city it once was. It's failing and continuing to fail. I don't blame you for choosing NYC, but I believe it was inevitable that you would close. Local laws and rents don't make it easy to survive. Have you considered more southern states? Even California would be good for this concept. I believe it can succeed if you try again, if you decide to. In NYC though, things have to change. Props to you for trying, I wish I would've known about this place before to give you my business.
So sad to hear. Horrible time right now. Restaurant are closing all over the country. The economy is struggling as a whole. Keep your head up and keep grinding. This may had not worked out but that doesnt mean the next venture wont succeed
🤗You did get to follow your dream and that's really amazing. It's true, we find the best paths we possibly can and we are always growing and learning to become better people. Your content is always so uplifting and there's always a moral to the story! Keep rocking it, ice cream Pokemon Master!
I’ve always dreamed of meeting you irl it breaks my heart that your closing now, see I live in CA so I couldn’t see you and if you ever open a new shop please comment on this. Thank you for your time.❤
Louis Rossmann did a great series during covid on the utter disaster that is New York business rental locations. He made the ultimate decision to move his entire business out of the state of New York after the city messed up paperwork and fined his business unnecessarily.
Thanks for making the video. You guys tried something out of the box and different. High risk high reward. You knew early on the shop was phase one and would be supported by phases 2 and 3. Not everyone has the same risk tolerance or fall back plans. If you had asked if you could start an ice cream shop in New York City and turn profit I would have said no that’s an extremely high risk risk idea. Go try it in Orlando where kids going to Disney can also visit your shop. But knowing the plans now I understand. High risk but tech venture kind of reward if phase 2 and 3 took off as intended
It's already hard making your business successful, it's 100x harder making it successful in NYC. This city eats start-ups alive. You start small and then expand. Maybe you could have opened a smaller shop somewhere else where ice cream shops aren't as prevalent. It's also very important to know what you're doing. A business advisor would have been nice, taking courses, etc. Anyway, try to look at the positives. At least you learned something from all this experience and who knows, possibly after some years you could try again and finally make it. As you said, keep dreaming!
the ice cream balls are really cool i just dont think the whole catching the ice cream thing is even worth the time and also everyone holding the bucket i wouldnt wanna eat the ice cream out of that after 300 people came in before me n touched that shit, why even have gloves on if youre gonna touch the bucket everyone did too lol. its just kind of ignoring everything ab food and food safety. but really great try

The throwing doesn’t slow anything down tbh. The process is so fast
@@Dylanlemayoh
You're right l, it does. But it seems like at times the biggest concern was not having enough customers.
Overpriced ice cream in an area that snows half the year, plus some of the highest rent costs in the country. Destined to fail
Yeah it takes just as long to scoop out standard ice cream @@Dylanlemay
Poor business practices is the real reason why this business failed. Too much loss in real estate rent and loss in the customers dropping the ice cream. Plus no one is going to be paying an exorbitant amount of money for a single scoop of ice cream. He was charging more for a scoop compared to other shops.

It's a shame the ice cream shop closed. NYC, while glamorous in the past, is not the city it once was. It's failing and continuing to fail. I don't blame you for choosing NYC, but I believe it was inevitable that you would close. Local laws and rents don't make it easy to survive.
Have you considered more southern states? Even California would be good for this concept. I believe it can succeed if you try again, if you decide to. In NYC though, things have to change.
Props to you for trying, I wish I would've known about this place before to give you my business.
Hey your really awsome and it's sad that your closing your shop but I was watching all your videos and I'll still remember your videos❤
Can't wait to watch what's next for you!
I'm so sad that I never got to visit because I'm overseas but looking forward to your next steps!!!
so happy to see your journey after all these years dylan!
So sad to hear. Horrible time right now. Restaurant are closing all over the country. The economy is struggling as a whole. Keep your head up and keep grinding. This may had not worked out but that doesnt mean the next venture wont succeed

Louis Rossmann did a great series during covid on the utter disaster that is New York business rental locations.
He made the ultimate decision to move his entire business out of the state of New York after the city messed up paperwork and fined his business unnecessarily.
I live in the city 🗽
I wish I knew about this place 😢I love your video ❤ 🤗
🫂May your journey take you to the most amazing adventurous times.
I always wanted to go here and I live in the same state but can’t wait to see what you have next
Should’ve opened it in like a popular area in Miami. I love NY but it’s full of too many busy robots.
🤗🤗🤗sending loads of love your way...
🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 here are some hugs for you brother!

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 A million hugs for you Dylan. Thrilled to watch you on your next adventure! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for making the video. You guys tried something out of the box and different. High risk high reward. You knew early on the shop was phase one and would be supported by phases 2 and 3. Not everyone has the same risk tolerance or fall back plans. If you had asked if you could start an ice cream shop in New York City and turn profit I would have said no that’s an extremely high risk risk idea. Go try it in Orlando where kids going to Disney can also visit your shop. But knowing the plans now I understand. High risk but tech venture kind of reward if phase 2 and 3 took off as intended
hope it all works out good luck Dylan!
🤗 It's tough to see a business fails, where it was the business you wanted to do. Life...
I really love your videos! Watching from Pakistan 🇵🇰😊
It's fun to see how happy people get when they are preparing to catch it
It's already hard making your business successful, it's 100x harder making it successful in NYC. This city eats start-ups alive. You start small and then expand. Maybe you could have opened a smaller shop somewhere else where ice cream shops aren't as prevalent. It's also very important to know what you're doing. A business advisor would have been nice, taking courses, etc. Anyway, try to look at the positives. At least you learned something from all this experience and who knows, possibly after some years you could try again and finally make it. As you said, keep dreaming!
the ice cream balls are really cool i just dont think the whole catching the ice cream thing is even worth the time and also everyone holding the bucket i wouldnt wanna eat the ice cream out of that after 300 people came in before me n touched that shit, why even have gloves on if youre gonna touch the bucket everyone did too lol. its just kind of ignoring everything ab food and food safety. but really great try
This is exactly what I was thinking!
Wow!!! What a wholesome video 🎉🎉
I dont know how to type a hug emoji on my phone so here's another one to send your way.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good luck ive been gere since 2019 when you worked at coldstone
