Over 70 Years of Sweet Success!
In 1934, Tom Carvel
borrowed US$15 from his future wife Agnes, filled a battered vending truck
with ice cream, and drove off in search of the American dream. His truck
broke down in Hartsdale, NY, but the dream never faltered. On that very
site, Tom Carvel started selling his ice cream which would one day become
New York City’s number one ice cream brand and would create a cult-like
following that has existed for over 70 years. Today, you are pursuing
your own American dream, and we welcome the opportunity to share the many
reasons why you should consider a Carvel franchise.
Our vision is simple.
We want to be a national player in the ice cream industry, an innovator
in franchising and a “best in class” employer. This is what
gets us up in the morning.
At Carvel, we believe
in promoting Carvel through multiple types of venues. Our unique concepts
allow our franchisees to offer our delicious ice cream products in a wide
range of locations and opportunities.
The time is right
and the reasons plentiful for you to get in on the ground floor of a rapidly
growing company.
