Perry’s Ice Cream was founded in 1918 when H. Morton Perry purchased a milk route in Akron, NY – a small suburb just east of Buffalo. The business, known as Perry’s Dairy at the time, operated as a home delivery and wholesale dairy business until 1932 when the Akron High School cafeteria manager asked Morton if he could supply ice cream to the school. Using a family recipe for ice cream given to him by his mother, Morton began mixing small batches of ice cream on the kitchen stove with his son, Marlo. As demand increased, the Perry family began delivering bulk ice cream to local stores and restaurants around Akron, and thus began Perry’s Ice Cream as we know it today!
