Brand History

The history of Carvel starts back in 1929 with Tom Carvel and a loan truck. He began to move from one location to another and sell a various range of hard serve items and frozen custard. On one of his many trips, in 1934, Tom had his truck broken on the roadside, but he managed to transform a bad experience into an opportunity. He sold his entire stock of products in only two days and this inspired him to transform his truck business into a fixed store.

The first official location was opened in 1937, in Hartsdale, New York. The frozen custard and the ice cream were very popular among customers and during the 1940s Tom Carvel continues to travel all over the country to sell his ice cream from the truck, while his wife Agnes stayed at their fixed location to manage the business. In 1947 Tom started to sell his own designed freezer the “Custard King” to different other companies.

After inspecting the state of these other companies which were using his freezer concept, Tom found out they were not managing their businesses with the same uprightness he intended. So, in 1949 Carvel started franchising, with Tom making sure that every new location respected the same high standards. He was always very involved in all aspects of the business. During the 1950s Tom even recorded most of the company’s radio commercials.

After 60 years at the helm of the company, in 1989 Tom sold the Carvel business to Investicorp, which continued to develop while staying true to the founder’s original dream. Nowadays, there are more than 300 Carvel locations all over the United States.
