This a unique opportunity to be a part of a new and exciting business. Max's Best Ice Cream is your local scoop shop and so much more! We are an upscale, dine-in ice cream shop featuring an inventive menu of artisanal ice cream creations.

• Our Story : Max's Best Ice Cream is a family operated business. As lifelong residents of Maryland and the local community, Max's Best Ice Cream fulfills a lifelong father-son dream to open an ice cream shop. Max's Best Ice Cream is named after the family's son, Max, who has always wanted to serve "the best ice cream... in the whole entire world." We decided to get started in Bethesda first!
• Our Ice Cream : Our premium, farm-fresh ice cream is sourced from a local creamery, Vanderwende's Farm Creamery, in rural Delaware. Max's Best Ice Cream is the first shop to feature Vanderwende's ice cream in Bethesda, Maryland and the broader Washington, D.C. region.
• Our People : Max's Best Ice Cream has partnered with Best Buddies International to employ individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through the Best Buddies Jobs program.
• Our Community : Best Buddies is also a co-owner in Max's Best Ice Cream so a portion of the proceeds from every customer's purchase will help to further Best Buddies' work in the community.

This is your opportunity to join the team leadership and be a part of something special at Max's Best Ice Cream. Let's serve amazing ice cream and do some good... while having fun along the way!
