Here are some real life success stories of starting a ice cream product:
1. The Good Scoop ($192K/year)
Stephen Layton (from Sacramento, California, USA) started The Good Scoop over 7 years ago.
Hello! My name is Stephen Layton and I am one of the founding members of The Good Scoop located in the greater Sacramento region. We make all of our own ice cream in house using fresh local and all-natural ingredients.
Some of our best selling and most popular flavors include our banana, rosewater, lavender, and salted cookies and cream. We use fresh seasonally available ingredients, so we use peaches in the summertime and apples in the fall. Some of our more interesting flavors include horchata, honey wasabi, peppermint bark, and olive oil.
2. Ice Cream Factory ($4.8M/year)
Shannon Imler (from Eldon, MO, USA) started Ice Cream Factory about 4 years ago.
Hello! My name is Shannon Imler and I am the founder of the Ice Cream Factory. I grew up on a farm with my two twin sisters, one brother, my father, and my grandfather. I started the Ice Cream Factory to bring the best, most delicious ice cream to my hometown. I had no idea it would grow into the wonderful company that it has!
We now have ten total ice cream containers that we sell in-store. Our flagship flavors include Blackberry Cobbler, Brownie Blast, Cake Batter, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Cobalt Cookie, Coconut Almond Paradise, Extreme Mint, Factory Favorite, Gooey Butter Cake, and Peanut Butter Blast. In the last 18 months, we have expanded to 400+ stores, opened a second location, and are in several states.
