Abbott’s Frozen Custard was founded in 1902 by Arthur Abbott. Abbott would travel to carinvals and fairs to sell his frozen custard as a means of supporting his interest in horse racing. The first store was located in Rochester, New York in 1926, directly across from Ontario Beach Park.
Today, Abbott’s Frozen Custard has locations in 5 states. The company was purchased by Leonard and Thelma Schreiber in 1957. Franchising operations began the following year. There are several franchises in Japan that opened in 1999 and in 2006, several Krispy Kreme outlets began offering Abbott’s Frozen Custard at their locations.
Arthur Abbott never lost his love for race horses and it paid off for him in 1952 when his horse Blue Man won the Preakness Stakes.
The company won Best Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt/Frozen Custard award by City Newspaper’s Best Of Rochester Awards in 2015.
