Location

In 1917, a school teacher from York, PA named Archie Kohr purchased a locally made ice cream machine that was powered by a gasoline engine. He and his younger brothers, Elton and Lester, wanted to expand the dairy business they ran from the family’s farm.

The fresh homemade ice cream was a popular addition to the milk delivered door to door by the Kohr brothers’ horse-drawn wagon. They experimented with the recipe. It now had less fat and less sugar for a smoother, lighter product.

Sylvester Kohr, their uncle, urged the brothers to take their new machine and frozen dessert to the shore. Following his advice, the Kohr brothers set up a small booth on the bustling boardwalk of Coney Island in 1919. On their very first weekend, they sold more than 18,000 cones at a nickel each. They knew they were on to something great!

Today, as in 1919, Kohr Bros. Original Frozen Custard is lower in fat and sugar than ice cream. Archie Kohr’s original recipe is still produced under the watchful eye of the Kohr family.

Kohr Bros. Frozen Custard continues to delight customers of all ages, from toddlers to senior citizens. With less fat and sugar than ice cream, Kohr Bros. has broad-based customer appeal that suits every taste.
