William “Billy” Richman began the company in 1894, producing his first ice cream in his general store. The location was ideal, amid the dairy farms of South Jersey which provided a ready supply of the key ingredient for ice cream: milk!

At the time, the ice cream plant was producing 1.4 million gallons of product a year — 54 flavors in all. Production also included novelties like popsicles. A fleet of trucks from the factory delivered the products across the Delaware Valley region to wholesale and retail outlets.

In the 1980’s, the Richman family sold the brand to a private family who carried the name until the early 2000’s. With depleting sales, the family decided to sell to the current owners, the Kaleck and Matthews families. “We strive to keep Billy Richman’s dreams alive one cone at a time”.

Richman’s Ice Cream Company has had a very rich history. Most credited for the long history of Richman’s Ice Cream has been the strength of the brand name and the quality of their product. Richman’s was and is known as one of the best products on the market.
