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.

Eric wanted an ice cream mobile truck that would allow him to serve up his many flavors of his Handcrafted Homemade Eric’s Ice Cream from his local plants in Defiance and Bowling Green, OH.  The truck is designed to offer, scoops, sundae’s, shakes and other blended ice cream drinks.  Eric’s truck allows him to “take it to the streets”.  Call today and see how you can “take it to the streets” with C. Nelson.

Eric’s mobile ice cream truck allows him to start selling into his market, promote his brand, and generate excitement for the soon to open new Eric’s Ice Cream shop in Bowling Green, Ohio, USA.
