Strickland's Frozen Custard, established in 1936 by Bill and Florence Strickland, is renowned for its rich and creamy frozen treats. Bill's dedication to creating the perfect recipe, along with his innovative batch freezer design, resulted in award-winning ice cream, frozen custard, yogurt, and sorbet. The first Strickland's stand in Akron, Ohio, still operates today, maintaining the tradition of serving exceptional frozen desserts.

In 2002, Strickland’s Marketing Corp. was founded to expand the brand through franchising, replicating the original Strickland's success. By recreating their specialized ice cream machines, the franchise opportunities were launched, offering the same delicious taste across various locations in the U.S. Each franchise continues the legacy of quality and flavor that has made Strickland's a beloved local favorite.
