Magic Fountain Ice Cream Parlor For Sale; Owner to Move to Utah

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

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.”
