Whitey’s Ice Cream was established in 1933 in Moline, IL by Chester “Whitey” Lindgren, who received his nickname due to his white-blonde hair. The company was sold to Bob Tunberg and his wife, Norma, in 1953. Their sons, Jeff and Jon, joined the business at a young age and today serve as Co-Owners with the title of President remaining vacant to honor their father who passed away in 1991.
Whitey’s currently has nine store locations in Illinois and Iowa with the manufacturing facility and office located in Moline, IL. In 1988, Whitey’s Ice Cream expanded into the wholesale market and currently distributes to grocery stores in eight states throughout the Midwest. Additionally, fans can have a taste of the Quad Cities across the entire country through on-line ordering via FedEx.
Over the years, Whitey’s Ice Cream has received a number of accolades including being named “Best in the Midwest” according to the readers of Midwest Living Magazine and being voted one of “Best Ice Cream Shops in the World” by Conde Nast Traveler readers. The Tunberg’s credit the success of Whitey's Ice Cream to a quality product, clean environment, fair prices and a knowledgeable, friendly staff. At Whitey's Ice Cream we strive to create a great experience for the customer from the moment they enter the parking lot until the very last bite is gone.
