An’s Gelato gets No. 1 ranking for second year in a row
San Diego-based chain An’s Gelato, which operates the An’s Electronics Repair gelato shop in Ocean Beach, has been named the No. 1 ice cream shop in America for the second year in a row, based on an annual USA Today ranking.
The company celebrated its 2025 title with a special grand-opening event in June at the Ocean Beach location at 1861 Bacon St., which had a soft opening earlier this year.
The OB shop’s name is in keeping with An’s Gelato’s philosophy of naming each location after the business it replaced or honoring the neighborhood’s history. The company’s other locations are An’s Dry Cleaning in Normal Heights, An’s Hatmakers in Del Mar and An’s Athletic Field Services at Petco Park. — The San Diego Union-Tribune
