Since its founding in 1933, Whitey’s Ice Cream has been bringing “a lick of joy and fun” to thousands of customers in the Quad Cities area (Rock Island and Moline in Illinois and Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa). Celebrating its 90th anniversary in May, the ice cream purveyor grew from a one-store business at 16th Street and 23rd  Avenue in Moline, to a total of eight stores in Illinois and Iowa all reliant on a 25,000-square-foot manufacturing plant to keep up with eclipsing demand for Whitey’s creamy cones, upside-down milkshakes, award-winning Chipper ice cream sandwiches and more.
