Melting ice cream

Tom Carvel had a flat tire in 1934 on Memorial Day weekend in Hartsdale, New York. The businessman noticed his ice cream truck was melting after pulling his ice cream truck into a parking lot. Carvel sold the softened ice cream to holidayers as they passed by. They loved the soft ice cream, surprisingly.. The salesman was not lost on the prospect of a new dessert.. Carvel could have a designated location with soft ice cream instead of a roving ice cream truck.

Tom Carvel opened his first ice cream store on the same spot where his truck crashed down two years ago. t.v. Carvel pioneered a super low-temperature ice cream machine and created a new formula ice cream in the previous years.
