Our Purposes
We believe that ice cream makes everybody happy. That its magic brings us together and melts away the barriers between us.
And above all, we believe that ice cream should be enjoyed by all of us, and not just a few. It’s always been our mission to put as many smiles on people’s faces as we can.
Our Simcoe, Ontario facility has been doing it for 100 years now. And we hope we’ll be doing it for 100 more.
