Keith and Charlene Mann started Ice Cream Man in the early 1980’s. They primarily ran the business strictly as a frozen dessert operation from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

In 1994 the Mann’s sold their business to Nancy Schneider. Nancy knew she needed to have a year round business that catered to the young and old alike. So she put an addition on the building to accommodate year round seating and also opened a retail shop. Nancy also added cakes and included soft frozen treats.
