SNELGROVE'S ICE CREAM

'Snelgrove Ice Cream' began as a family owned company in Salt Lake City founded in 1929 by C. Laird Snelgrove. The operation remained family owned until about 1990. The name brand is now owned by the Dreyers company, which owns the former Snelgrove ice cream factory.
Snelgrove ice cream parlors were located in various locations in the Salt Lake area and in other Utah communities. The largest of these was the flagship store on 2100 south, in the Sugarhouse neighborhood of Salt Lake City. The decor and architecture of the store was art deco. The store's look was enhanced with a 40 foot wide sign from the early 1960s, with the name ''Snelgrove'' in large looping cursive neon letters, and a spinning giant double cone. The factory producing Snelgrove Ice Cream is located directly behind this store. The next oldest location was the Snelgrove store on South Temple street in downtown Salt Lake City.
Because Snelgrove ice cream is a sentimental favorite in Utah, Dreyer's continues to make and distribute Snelgrove brand ice cream, using some of the original Snelgrove flavors: Canadian Vanilla, Burnt Almond Fudge. Snelgrove Ice Cream is sold in Utah, New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, and Colorado. ^[1]
