Together, the Davises coach for the Prosper Speech and Debate Club and are passionate about investing in local youth and leadership development.

The idea for a Handel's in Prosper sparked during a casual conversation outside a McKinney Handel’s. "One day we were sitting in our car outside of the McKinney Handel’s eating ice cream and discussing what was next for our family," shared Angela Davis, Co-Owner of Prosper Handel’s Ice Cream. “Mike looked to me and said ‘I wonder what it would take to open one of these up in Prosper.’ I smiled at him and said I’d been waiting for him to ask that. We submitted our application for a franchise that same evening."

“We love Prosper and we love Handel’s,” said Mike Davis, Co-Owner of Prosper Handel’s Ice Cream. “We are over the moon about the opportunity to bring Handel’s to our hometown.”

The Prosper location spans 2,010 sq. ft. and offers pick-up, delivery with DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Postmates, and catering services.
