Summer Song Ice Cream Stop the Truck. Start the Fun.
Summer Song
began in 1959 as
an ice cream street vendor using
tricycle pedal carts.
The
year was 1959—a very flavorful
year. Tropical Hawaii was making waves as it
entered America as the
50th state, Andy Warhol’s famous “Ice Cream Dessert”
painting charmed sweet-toothed art-lovers around the
world, and a fresh-faced young entrepreneur named Tom
Renwald started an ice cream vending company in a tiny
corner of Northwest Indiana with just a few bicycles
and a couple of dozen ice cream bars.
Soon, Renwald’s small business
expanded across the
Midwest with locations across Indiana and Michigan.
The bicycle carts grew into a larger fleet of ice
cream trucks, and the transformation of the modern
Summer Song truck continued as the sleek, stylish
yellow-and-white vans hit the streets of major
metropolitan markets.
Today, Summer Song maintains a line of over 250 trucks
in the Midwest and South, delivering over 10 million
frozen treats each year. Throughout the years, we’ve
worked hard to maintain our positive image of
excellent service and unique premium products. It’s
our job to bring happiness to you in the form of ice
cream, and by your grateful responses, we must be
doing it well.
