Shaw’s Ice Cream

Shaw’s Ice Cream, founded in 1948 by Carl Shaw in St. Thomas, Ontario, has been a beloved brand for over seven decades, offering delicious, old-fashioned ice cream made the way it should be—using fresh 100% Canadian cream. In 2001, when Shaw’s was facing tough times, the McLaughlin Sisters—Kim, Kelly, and Kristine—stepped in to purchase the business and breathe new life into it. With prior experience running their own scoop shop, Dad’s Ice Cream, the sisters revived Shaw’s by focusing on its original vision: crafting high-quality ice cream with small-town roots and a community-oriented spirit.

The purpose of Shaw’s Ice Cream is to bring families and communities together to share the simple tradition of enjoying a scoop of ice cream. Their vision is to be the ultimate provider of quality ice cream and frozen indulgences, delivering these treats to wholesale, retail, and private label customers. Shaw’s pillars of success include irresistible products, team spirit, operational experience, client success, and a deep passion for community. Shaw’s continues to serve high-quality, fresh, and exciting ice cream, empowering a fun, productive team, and fostering lasting relationships with clients and the community. Celebrating their rich history, Shaw’s remains dedicated to delivering the finest ice cream, while strengthening genuine connections between families and the community.
