Applegate Farm has grown to be one of the largest retail outlets for ice
cream on the East Coast. In 1980, Mrs. Betty Vhay became the new owner
of Applegate Farm. In an effort to oversee all aspects of the business
the Vhay family moved into the original farmhouse. Mrs. Vhay became Mrs.
Wayne Niles in 1991 and eventually transferred ownership to her nephew
and his wife Mr. and Mrs. Jason Street. Working together, the entire
family contributes to maintaining the century-old tradition of the best
homemade ice cream and sweet treats in the 21st century.
As the operator of a unique, quick service restaurant concept, our stores operate with a simple premise; offer high quality food in an inviting environment at a competitive price, served by friendly, well trained employees. The ice cream and frozen yogurt portion of the business sells premium high butterfat ice cream and non-fat frozen yogurt. All American frozen treats appeal to a broad consumer base and attract customers from all socio-economic groups and ages. All American Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Shops are typically located in anchored shopping centers. We seek individuals and multi-store owners in states west of the Mississippi River. We will consider multi-store area development rights in any part of the United States.
