About Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, founded in 2002, is a premium ice cream brand headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Known for its innovative flavors and high-quality ingredients, the company has grown to operate over 90 scoop shops across 15 states as of 2023. Jeni's began with a focus on artisanal ice cream, using direct and fair trade ingredients and fresh milk from family-run farms. Over the past decade, the company has expanded its footprint significantly, leveraging both company-operated stores and retail partnerships with major grocery chains like Whole Foods, Target, and Kroger. In recent years, Jeni's has announced a strategic shift towards franchising, aiming to broaden its presence across the United States. This move is part of a broader growth strategy that includes entering new markets and enhancing its brand visibility. As of 2023, Jeni's continues to be a leader in the super-premium ice cream segment, with a strong emphasis on community engagement and sustainable sourcing.
