Gifford’s Ice Cream, the award-winning, family-owned and -operated ice cream enterprise based in central Maine, added several new high-profile distribution locations.

The range of new accounts is impressive: in addition to Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, and Rutgers, and Columbia Universities, the United Nations, Westchester Country Club, and New York City’s Del Frisco’s Steakhouse locations all have signed on to Gifford’s Ice Cream’s sizeable list of distributing venues.

The new locations add to the several thousand retail and ice cream stand locations already established throughout New England, New York, and New Jersey which feature Gifford’s. The Maine company continues to see robust growth of 7-10 percent, particularly notable news in today’s economic climate.
