Today is our 38th Birthday - August 9, 2011

It is with great pride that I announce that on this date (August 9^th) 38 years ago we opened Gary’s Ice Cream for the very first time!   We opened at about 1 p.m. and the first customer, whose name I never got, ordered a chocolate frappe.

Since that first day, I have made and sold over ONE HALF MILLION gallons of ice cream!!!  That comes out to almost 5 and ½ million small cones! 

As we enter our 38^th year in business we’re still in the back room making the ice cream the same way we did in 1973 – just a lot more of it  per year.   However, I still use the same basic formulas, many of the same ingredients and suppliers and turn out what I (and many customers) feel is the best ice cream available in New England!

My thanks to those who helped to make Gary’s Ice Cream the success that it has become including my parents, the late Dorothy & Frank Frascarelli, my mentor in the ice cream business and former employer –  the late John A. Glennie, his employees – Charlie Greene and Bill McCloughry.  The past 38 years would not have been possible without my suppliers.

Also special thanks to my employees over the years –Over  600!

But mostly, I must thank our customers for their loyalty and patronage.  Without them, Gary’s Ice Cream would not have lasted.

Please join us in looking forward to year 38!

Come by tonight from 6 -9 and you might get your order for free!!  I'll be giving random customers either their order for free or at a big discount to celebrate our 38th Birthday!

A Heartfelt Thanks,

Gary Frascarelli
