Born in Cali
Thrifty® ice cream was launched in 1940 at a small factory in West
Hollywood. Angelenos soon flocked to the
flagship Thrifty Drug Store in downtown Los Angeles to sample ice cream from the soda fountain. The
high-quality, small-batch ice cream even snagged awards from the L.A. County Fair. By the 1970s, Thrifty
ice
cream had attained cult status along the West Coast, with significant celebrity shoutouts.
Eighty years later, our commitment to quality has never wavered. We still use the same recipe
with fresh
milk from local dairies. And when it comes to quality, no step is too much, like mixing in real fruit,
or
freshly baked cookies. Even our Belgian chocolate is chipped from a locally mixed premium batch. To
date,
our ice cream has won over 1,600 gold medals in global dairy competitions.
Delight by the pint
Grab a tried-and-true favorite, or a bold new flavor. Your customers have so many options, including better-for-you flavors in creamy Greek frozen yogurt. You’ll want to grab a few 16 oz. pints from the freezer to sample them all.
