Chillers Ice Cream – A Growing Success Story

 

The Chillers story starts with a very humble beginning in 1966 in a 400 sq. ft. building on the corner of Slate Run Road and Charlestown Road in New Albany, Indiana. This little ice cream shop was named Zesto.  Early on, people knew something was very unique about this ice cream store.  Their philosophy was remarkably simple.  Chillers paired three core principles together:


  1. 1.) Premium homemade ingredients make addictively delicious ice cream.
  2. 2.) Simple, streamlined operations make for great customer service.
  3. 3.) Spotlessly clean facilities are a key ingredient.

Their customers not only received premium ice cream products, but they also received them fast.  After noticing something special, customers turned into investors by trying to talk Don and Dottie Rosenbarger into starting a franchise.  Those franchise offers fell on deaf ears over the 40+ years of business until 2012 when the family decided it was time to share 3 generations of success with others. 

The product offering has a universal appeal, attracting customers from every demographic imaginable.  Families with children, teenagers, senior citizens, and customers from all income levels and ethnic backgrounds love Chillers and love their great ice cream.  Half a century later, Chillers is still making the same addictively delicious ice cream that generations have grown to love.
