HIBBARDS CUSTARD

Born in 1902 an entrepreneur Harold Fredrick Hibbard had enjoyed several successful business endeavors before launching his frozen custard business in 1939. In the late 1930's, while wintering in Florida, a persistent Mr. Hibbard convinced his friend and neighbor (whose family had been operating an ice cream and frozen custard stand since 1902) to share his specialty frozen custard formula with him. To launch his frozen custard business Harold persuaded Chaplin Dairy in Rochester, NY, not far from where the product was invented on Coney Island in 1919, to make the special custard mix for him. Hibbard's Original Old-Fashioned Frozen Custard opened in April of 1939 in a small 25' X 25' building which is where you are standing now. Recently, after doing some extensive research, it was discovered that Hibbard's Original Frozen Custard is the sixth oldest family-owned, continuously operated frozen custard stand in the United States which still operates from its original location.
