Own a Piece of
Ice Cream History.
Snelgrove Ice Cream isn't just another ice cream brand — it's a Utah institution. Founded in 1929 by Charles Rich Snelgrove, the brand was built on "artistry in pleasure foods" and became the state's most beloved ice cream for generations.
Now revived by his great granddaughter Lyndsay, Snelgrove is growing again — and franchise opportunities mean you can bring this iconic brand to your community. With proven recipes, fierce brand loyalty, and a story that sells itself, a Snelgrove franchise is more than a business — it's a legacy.
