Fusco's Water Ice, a beloved Delaware institution since 1957, has expanded its reach with a new trailer in Hockessin, adding to its existing locations in Wilmington and Kirkwood Highway. This family-owned business, now in its fourth generation, is a testament to the enduring appeal of its signature water ice, a refreshing treat that has become synonymous with Delaware summers. The Hockessin location, open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., offers a variety of water ice, ice cream, and affogatos, all made with traditional recipes and equipment passed down through the family. The trailer's vibrant red, white, and green paint scheme, reminiscent of the Italian flag, adds a festive touch to the scene. This expansion is a strategic move by the fourth-generation family member, Joseph Staffieri, to bring the iconic taste of Delaware's summers to a new neighborhood. The Hockessin trailer serves a range of flavors, including the traditional lemon, cherry, and mango water ice, as well as mint chocolate chip, peanut, and rocky road ice cream. Affogatos, a delightful fusion of ice cream and espresso, are also available, providing a unique twist to the classic Italian dessert. The opening of the Hockessin trailer is a significant development for the business, as it allows Fusco's to reach a wider audience and share its rich history and delicious treats with a new community. The trailer's location at the old George & Sons seafood market, near Hockessin Corner shopping center, is a strategic choice, providing easy access to the local population. As Fusco's continues to grow, it remains committed to its roots, ensuring that the taste of Delaware summers remains accessible to all. This expansion not only brings a taste of summer to Hockessin but also reinforces the business's role as a cherished part of Delaware's culinary heritage, offering a refreshing escape from the heat and a taste of tradition to locals and visitors alike.
