Since 1945, Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream has been produced fresh everyday in each store. We pride ourselves on using only the finest ingredients and are happy to be known as the world’s best ice cream.
Alice Handel left the sweetest of legacies in Youngstown, Ohio, in the summer of 1945. Alice produced ice cream with fresh fruit from her backyard garden and her own special recipes, and it rapidly became a local favorite. Handel’s, as well as a devotion to excellence, was born.
Handel continues the traditions that Alice began all those years ago. We’re continuing sharing our homemade ice cream and serving the communities we love one scoop at a time, utilizing her original processes and recipes and preparing each batch fresh daily.
