History
Perry's Ice Cream was founded in 1918 by H. Morton Perry as Perry's Dairy, a dairy delivery business. The business would later supply ice cream to Akron High School starting in 1932. In 1940 H. Morton Perry and his son, Marlo, were able to purchase a Buffalo ice cream maker and began to expand their distribution into Akron.
Thomas C. Perry, Marlo's son, became CEO and president of the company in 1982, and chairman of the board in 1988, after his father died.
In 1997 the company released the flavor "Zero Visibility" to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Blizzard of 1977.
