Company Overviews

About Ice Cream Churn

Ice Cream Churn 's concept is to add an old-fashioned ice cream parlor within another existing location, such as delis, bakeries, video stores, convenience stores, truckstops. Ice Cream Churn sets up location, trains employees, installs exterior signs and supports location with on-going promotions and training. 32 flavors of ice cream and yogurt are available. Master franchise available. New mall kiosk also available!

 
Ice Cream Churn was founded in 1973 in Byron, Georgia. Initially, a single store located inside a truck stop was added in hopes of providing additional traffic to increase overall sales. Five years later, with a successful, proven sales and marketing concept, the company began licensing add-on franchises to sell hand-dipped ice cream within other businesses under the trademark, "Ice Cream Churn®."
