About George Dunlap

1973 my parents opened their ice cream store called Peppermint Patti's in Defiance, OH. We served soft ice cream/custard and hand scooped ice cream. During my years at Bowling Green State University (1973-1977) I worked in the store and traveled NW Ohio selling frozen ice cream novelties to grocery stores. After I graduated from BGSU in 1977, I traveled the Midwest USA selling Ice Cream machines, designing and bulding ice cream stores.

This is a great conversation with industry leader Matt Wilcoxon of Johnson’s Real Ice Cream. 

matt

I have had the pleasure to work with Matt and his family since i moved to Columbus, Ohio in 1982.  (My audio starts a little rough, but kicks in after a few seconds.)

Matt Wilcoxon, 4th generation ice cream maker, from Columbus, OH, USA, talks about his families ice cream plant and how his dairy stays clean and how you can do the same; no matter how small your ice cream business is.

 Listeria is nothing new, says Matt, just how we treat it.  Sit back and listen to how Matt and his dairy maintains a Listeria-free dairy plant and his thoughts on how the industry is working together to keep ice cream a healthy treat.2016-12-09_0725

 

 

 

 

The Wilcoxon family has been a great customer of C. Nelson mobile and in-store cabinets for many years.  C. Nelson Mfg., Co, is a proud partner in the listeria clean program at Johnson’s diary and retail shop.

I generally write about my ice cream friends, their stories, and how they are making a difference in today’s business climate.  Many work long and strenuous hours taking care of their business and families.  I came upon a Michael Hyatt blog that has helped me work more efficiently and allows me more time for my family.  I think you will find this post by Michael Hyatt to offer you some ideas too.
