Founded by Tom Carvel in 1929, Carvel is well-known as the first retail ice-cream company in the United States. When Carvel started selling mouth-watering ice-creams from his truck in 1929, he had no idea that this concept will become so big one day! But, in a fateful day in 1934, his tire got punctured and he set up a roadside makeshift shop to sell his melting ice-creams. The businessman in him sensed immense possibility and eventually, he opened his first store in the same location in 1936. Tom Carvel was a true visionary and patented many of the technologies that are regarded today as the backbone of his company, for instance, the “no air pump” super-low-temperature ice cream machine! Besides the famous ice-cream cups, cones of Carvel, the organization has earned kudos for its incredible variety of delicious cakes such as “Fudge the Whale”, “Cookie Puss” and “Hug me the Bear”.
Carvel was also one of the first companies that pioneered the concept of franchising. The organization is franchising since 1947 and boasts of its own franchising training school. After coming under the wings of Roark Capital Group in 2001, the organization has signed more franchisees than ever before! Besides opening locations in America (franchised units or superstores), the company has also made his presence felt in various Asian & South American countries too like Saudi Arabia, Jordon and Puerto Rico. In the United States, the concept has more than 500 franchised units and looking for highly-motivated people whose only dream is to run a successful business. Single-store owners as well as multi-store/area-developers are also welcome in the Carvel family.
