Shaw’s Ice Cream

Shaw’s Ice Cream is a beloved Canadian brand that has been a family favorite since its founding in 1948 by Carl Shaw in St. Thomas, Ontario. The company has a rich history, with its early success leading to the establishment of numerous dairy stores. However, by the early 2000s, Shaw’s faced challenges and was on the verge of closing. The business was rescued by the McLaughlin sisters, Kim, Kelly, and Kristine, who purchased it in 2001. They revitalized the brand, focusing on high-quality products made with 100% Canadian cream.

Today, Shaw’s Ice Cream is renowned for its classic taste and commitment to using the best ingredients. The company offers a variety of ice cream flavors and products, including cones, cakes, splits, and shakes. Their products are available in select parlors, eateries, and grocery stores across Canada. Shaw’s maintains a strong connection to its local roots while expanding its reach nationally. The company’s dedication to quality and community has made it a staple in Canadian ice cream culture.
