Halo Top Creamery is an ice cream company and brand[1] sold in the United States,[2] Australia, Mexico, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.[3]
History
The ice cream brand was founded in 2011 by former attorney Justin Woolverton. Woolverton, who had hypoglycemic diet restrictions, began making ice cream in his own kitchen. The company is currently run by Woolverton and Doug Bouton, President and COO. Woolverton met Bouton, another former attorney, in a Los Angeles lawyers’ basketball league.[4]
Halo Top launched in Los Angeles on June 15, 2012, and is currently sold throughout the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. In July 2017, Halo Top became the best-selling ice cream pint at grocery stores in the United States, surpassing in popularity the Ben & Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs brands, which previously held that distinction for years.[5] The company describes its product as the first ever "lifestyle" ice cream that can be eaten daily without overwhelming a typical caloric intake diet,[6] but nutritionists have expressed that "'just because it’s a slightly better choice does not mean that it is a good choice.'" [7] Halo Top now offers several vegan/dairy-free flavors and has opened three physical locations, which serve scoop-based ice cream and soft serve.
