Tickleberry's is coming to Penticton's Lakeshore Drive.
The popular, 35-year-old ice cream shop from Okanagan Falls will be the new operator of the Peach concession stand, city officials announced on May 2.
Also on Friday, the city said Vallarta Fiesta Grill is returning to the Skaha East Concession, located at 3885 South Main St.
The announcements come after city officials in February launched a competitive process to seek operators for both stands. The new agreements are believed to be for a term of between three and five years.
The beach concessions will be open in time for the May long weekend, the city said.
There are two other related stands in Penticton, one at Sudbury Beach (operated by Junction 3 Coffee House) and another at 3701 Parkview St. by Skaha Lake (operated by Tickleberry's). License-to-use agreements have yet to expire at those locations.
The popular ice cream shop also has two other locations, one at its original Okanagan Falls spot and another on Main Street in downtown Penticton.
