Chapman's Ice Cream
For so long, three huge companies conquered the ice cream market with their great tasting treats that people fell in love with. That is until David and Penny Chapman came along and bought the Markdale Creamery. Their dream was to produce a quality product at affordable prices. Boy did they ever reach their goal.
In 1973 the Chapman’s started out with only four employees, two trucks and a very small creamery.
Even though the much larger companies were taking out a lot of smaller businesses,
David and Penny held on strong and wouldn’t let anything or anyone stand in their way. Over the next few years, Chapman’s slowly grew and by the early 90’s, became a well known company. Their distribution is now national and they are known as one of the greatest ice cream companies in the country.
Over the years, Chapman’s came up with many different flavours that would grab people’s attention. And they did that successfully. They also incorporated lines such as Peanut /Nut Free, No Sugar Added, and Lactose Free. These specialty products are important to them as they want EVERYONE to be able to enjoy their products.
