From humble beginnings serving ice cream from a cart in Cincinnati to the nationwide presence of Graeter’s Ice Cream today, the family has stubbornly held to ideals and processes of the founding generation. Members of the 3rd, 4th and 5th generation (pictured above) continue to work in the business, every day, ensuring that our customers get truly the best ice cream they have ever tasted. We wouldn’t have it any other way. 150 Years of History In 1870 a young Louis Graeter first started selling ice cream at Cincinnati street markets. It was his widow, Regina, that saw our legacy fully realized into the company you see today. Each generation since has taken the responsibility to uphold the commitment of making the best ice cream, 2 1/2 gallons at a time. Today, five generations later, we proudly remain a family owned and operated company, made possible thanks to our loyal fans.
