One of the factors that makes Strickland's so unique is the specialized ice cream batch freezers we use. The machines in the original Strickland's location (seen in the photo at left) were hand-built in the 1930s, and represent true ingenuity and an appreciation for the fine points of making ice cream. The machines freeze the ice cream very quickly, which promotes a smoother, creamier taste.
For years, growing was not an option for Strickland's, as these unique machines were not commercially available, and the Strickland-Margroff family could not find a commercially available unit that produced the great taste Strickland's patrons have grown to love and expect. But, in 2002, the machines were successfully reverse-engineered. For the first time in its history, Strickland's was able to consider expansion, and Strickland's Marketing Corp. was formed to offer Strickland's franchises.
