Strickland's Frozen Custard

Strickland's Frozen Custard is an American ice cream chain, based in Akron, Ohio and with 14 locations in Ohio, Florida, California, and South Carolina. The chain was founded in 1936 by Bill and Florence Strickland of Akron. [ [http://www.stricklands.info/site.cfm/about-us.cfm About Us] , Strickland's Frozen Custard.

Accessed on line December 19, 2007.] Strickland's makes its ice cream fresh on-site daily, and generally serves only three or four flavors a day.

[ [http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=AK&s_site=ohio&p_multi=AK&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0F59823083D95FFF&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM I scream, you scream, we all scream for custard] , Jane Snow, "Akron Beacon Journal", August 21, 2002.] Rather, it is similar to soft-serve ice cream, but contains less air than typical soft-serve.

The original Strickland's is still operating, and is located at 1809 Triplett Boulevard in Akron, in the same location as when it opened in 1936. [ [http://www.stricklands.info/base.cfm?page_id=1015 Akron, Ohio] , locations, Strickland's Frozen Custard. Accessed on line December 19, 2007.]
