Shipping is finally back up and running!

We will start sending out ice cream shipments this Tuesday, June 16. For right now, we are only offering overnight delivery service. Overnight deliveries may arrive one day later due to heavy FedEx delivery volume, but all shipments will contain sufficient dry ice to last 48 hours.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out – our offices are open Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm and you can call 309-762-2175 with any issues/questions.

We are thrilled to announce a new flavor – Dairy-Free Chocolate Mint!  It is a dairy-free and vegan frozen dessert made with coconut cream, that everyone will love.

Dairy-Free Chocolate Mint is rich and creamy, using a mixture of coconut cream and cocoa with the perfect blend of mint! This flavor has the traditional creamy texture of regular ice cream and will be available at all of Whitey’s Ice Cream locations starting Friday, June 12, 2020.

“We know that this has been a growing trend in the ice cream industry, but we just wanted to make sure when we came out with a dairy-free flavor, we did it perfectly!” Whitey’s Ice Cream co-owner Jeff Tunberg says. “It’s delicious – I think we hit the mark!”

“We’ve heard from many customers over the years that they loved Whitey’s Ice Cream but unfortunately could no longer have dairy, so we are anxious to see what our fans think,” says Jon Tunberg, Whitey’s Ice Cream co-owner. “If you are vegan or avoiding diary, there is no need to miss out on Whitey’s now. But we truly believe this flavor is as good as the regular options on our menu, so delicious that even dairy-eaters will enjoy it!”

It will be available in dips, sundaes and hand-packed quarts and pints. Each dip (in a dish or as a Sundae) will be an additional $0.30 per dip. Hand-packed pints  will cost $6.95 and hand-packed quarts will be $11.95.

This flavor will have all the traditional ice cream lovers believing in the deliciousness of dairy-free flavors. The other dairy-free options available at Whitey’s Ice Cream include Smoothies, Popsicles and Slush.

We are sorry to disappoint, but due to curfew in the Quad Cities we are going to shut down the drive thru line at 7:30pm at all stores. We are doing this to ensure that our employees can get home before 9:00pm.

Although curfew has been lifted, we are going to be closing our drive-thru lines at 9:00pm on Friday, June 5 and Saturday, June 6. We have a lot of younger employees and just want to ensure everyone makes it home safely!

Thank you for your understanding!
