Lloyd’s Ice Cream History

Lloyd’s Ice Cream was founded in 1950 by a man named Lloyd, thus the name Lloyd’s Ice Cream.

Lloyd’s Ice Cream began as one small retail shoppe with ice cream made in the back room.  It was located at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and North Fares.  It was later torn down for Highway 41.  If you are sitting in the southbound turn lane on Highway 41, you would be at the drive thru window.

Lloyd’s Ice Cream was purchased in 1963 by Don Smith,
the present owner, who had a passion for making homemade ice cream.

Pictured is Don Smith in 1964, his first year in business.
Don made ice cream every morning & sold ice cream all day long.

Throughout the years Lloyd’s/Lic’s has updated & remodeled it’s look.

And today, Lic’s remains a family-owned business.
