Business of the Week is Alex’s Ice Cream Van

This week, we’re thrilled to shine the spotlight on a true local legend – Alex’s Ice Cream Van, proudly voted Formby Bubble’s Business of the Week.

With over 50 years of serving smiles, Alex has become a household name in #Formby. From sunny afternoons at the park to special events and school visits, generations of families have grown up hearing the familiar chimes of his van. It’s more than just ice cream – it’s tradition, nostalgia, and a part of our community’s fabric.

Established for over 50 years, Alexander’s Ice Cream has built a reputation for outstanding service, quality treats, and always showing up with a smile. Whether it’s a children’s party, wedding, school fair or just a sunny day, Alex’s van is always a welcome sight.

What the community says:

“Alex is part of our childhood – and now our children’s too. He’s a local legend!” – Sarah J., Formby

“Ask Alex for The Dog’s Bo****ks and honestly… it will blow your mind. It’s got everything — a classic 99, smothered in strawberry, chocolate, AND bubblegum sauce, loaded with sherbet and sprinkles. It’s messy, it’s magical, it’s the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Alex, you’re a legend!”

– Fred M., local ice cream addicts!

“Every event in town just feels better when Alex’s van is there. He’s one of the kindest people you’ll meet.” – Linda W., Formby

Alex’s Ice Cream Van is more than a business – it’s a piece of Formby’s heart.

Congratulations to Alex on being named Business of the Week – and thank you for keeping the sweet memories (and cones!) coming for all these years.
