Cedar Crest Ice Cream is a foundation here in Cedarburg. Our 2019 Business of the Year, we’ve recognized them as a major player in Cedarburg commerce for decades, and are proud to say Robert Kohlwey was a beloved board member for six years. It’s hard for us to think of retirement for the Kohlwey family too, but we’re excited for the future of this great family company. Congratulations and thank you to our friends at Cedar Crest for their 50 years of sweet service to our area.
Fifty years is a long time to make ice cream—and we've loved every minute of it. ❤️
As we began thinking about retirement, one thing was clear: we needed a partner who truly understands what this beloved brand means to our community. Family of Companies shares our Midwest values and deep appreciation for local roots, and they’ve given us every confidence the brand is in the right hands.
Cedar Crest isn’t going anywhere. Our flavors, recipes and ingredients—and our Cedarburg and Manitowoc locations—are here to stay. We’ve simply added a great partner to help us grow, invest in our future and carry the brand forward for generations to come. 🍨
