The Millie's Story

IT ALL STARTED WITH A CREDIT CARD

IN 2014, OUR CO-FOUNDER AND CHEF CHAD TOWNSEND WAS LOOKING TO MAKE A CAREER CHANGE, SO HE PURCHASED A PACOJET™ ON A WHIM – ON HIS WIFE LAUREN’S CREDIT CARD.

A PACOJET™ IS A PROFESSIONAL KITCHEN APPLIANCE THAT MICRO-PUREES DEEP-FROZEN FOODS TO A FINE TEXTURE TO PRODUCE LUXURIOUS ICE CREAMS, AND SORBETS –

AND PACOJETS™ ARE, LIKE, REALLY, REALLY EXPENSIVE.

SWEET SWEET PAYBACK

DETERMINED TO PAY HER BACK, CHAD BEGAN TO TRIAL ICE CREAM RECIPES IN THEIR HOME KITCHEN TO SELL TO RESTAURANTS AROUND PITTSBURGH.

LAUREN KICKED CHAD OUT OF THEIR KITCHEN AND TOGETHER THEY HAVE NOW BUILT MILLIE’S ICE CREAM WORKS TO MAKE A LITTLE MORE ICE CREAM – AND THE REST, AS THEY SAY, IS HISTORY.

GROWING OUR FAMILY

AS OF 2019, MILLIE’S HAS GROWN TO FOUR PITTSBURGH RETAIL LOCATIONS, WITH MORE IN THE WORKS FOR 2020 – AND WE DON’T HAVE ANY PLANS OF STOPPING!

BUT AS WE GROW, WE BUILD AND STAFF EVERY SHOP WITH OUR CORE VALUES IN MIND. WE WANT YOU TO TASTE ICE CREAM THAT MAKES YOU SMILE, SERVED WITH A SMILE – EVERY TIME. WE COULDN’T DO WHAT WE DO WITHOUT YOUR JOY!
