There’s a new taste treat in town that’s guaranteed to transport your taste buds to Italy with every scoop of gelato at An’s Electronics Repair on Bacon Street.
Kris Warren, president and CEO, David Aguilera, chief gelato officer, Travis Bailey, chief marketing officer, and Jimmy Blalock, chief financial officer, are four friends who teamed up seven years ago to create this unique concept that has fostered four locations, serving a product voted the No. 1 ice cream in America by USA Today in 2024.
“Our business plan was to create shops that were all independently branded,” said Kris Warren. “I don’t think chains are very cool, the days of rubber stamping a product aren’t being well received. For our Ocean Beach location, we partnered with Michael Soriano to do the interior design. He worked on Raglan Public House and the redesign of the Pearl Hotel.”
Staying true to its former life as an electronics repair shop, the new home for gelato is decorated with TV sets that when new, played classics like “Lassie,” “Lawrence Welk,” and “Star Trek.” Instead of showing reruns of shows from another era, these TVs act as the shop’s menu board.

Great gelato with some unique flavor combinations! Staff is very friendly and will give you a full tasting of their menu.
This is such a cool idea! I love how they mixed the old electronics vibe with amazing gelato to make a really unique place.
