Two Family Businesses Keeping it Real
The Hershey Creamery Company is today and always has been a family-owned business. Not affiliated with the similarly named Hershey Chocolate Company, it was founded by four Hershey brothers in 1894.
For over a century, the Hershey Creamery Company® has been manufacturing premium ice cream using Real ingredients. While we now use modern equipment instead of ice and salt, and refrigerated trucks instead of a horse and wagon, our dedication to good old-fashioned goodness has always been our mission.
The Hershey’s® Ice Cream production plant was constructed in 1926 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. With many modernizations over the years, the company has continued to thrive, employing approximately 450 people and operating 22 distribution centers across 28 states.
Our Local Story
Our own family business, Hershey’s® Ice Cream of Ormond Beach, opened in 2008. We investigated many ice cream companies—examining their business practices and taste-testing their products—before choosing to do business with The Hershey Creamery Company.
Because ours is also a local small business, we value the fact that the Hershey Creamery Company is family-operated and, unlike other large corporations, maintains ownership of its manufacturing, delivery trucks, warehouses, and distribution centers.
Freshness Delivered
At least once a week, a fresh order of Hershey’s® Ice Cream arrives at our shop from their state-of-the-art distribution center in Orlando.
We know we can rely on the consistent quality of Hershey’s® Ice Cream products. We proudly serve them to our customers who keep coming back for more because they can taste the richer, denser difference in ice cream made from Real dairy ingredients.
