The Ice Cream Cone Monopoly You Never Knew Existed

Did you know nearly 70% of the cones sold in US stores come from one company?

What started 100 years ago as a small shop with just one hand-powered oven has become an empire. Today, Joy Baking Group churns out 10m cones per day. So how did Joy Cone come out on top? And what does the family of the inventor of the first original ice cream cone think about it? Watch the video to find out.

Something cool I learned, you can take a tour of their Hermitage, PA factory from August through November. Contact Joy to book a tour.

We use Joy cones. I tried some other brands, but they're just not as good.

Fun fact, we could have cones made with custom printed jackets, but unfortunately, the minimum order is 1 million cones.
