The Abbott's Frozen Custard franchise has been serving quality ice cream and a place to go to "after" any occasion or event for over a century.

In 1926, he got tired of travelling and set up shop in Rochester, New York. Since it began franchising in 1977, it has grown to dozens of locations across the U.S. If you want to provide quality frozen desserts to the public and get your piece of the booming frozen dessert industry, then this franchise could be for you.
