Carvel Franchise - Ice Cream 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.

Get the Scoop!
In 1934, Tom Carvel borrowed $15 from his future wife Agnes, filled a battered vending truck with ice cream, and drove off in search of the American dream. The truck broke down in Hartsdale, NY, but the dream never faltered. 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.

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. Read on to learn the many reasons why Carvel can help you realize your American dream, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
