Carvel Ice Cream Franchise:
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 Carvel
Ice Cream 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.
