Perry’s Ice Cream Company, Inc., a Great Lakes regional brand and Upstate New York’s #1 ice cream, announced the largest expansion to their portfolio to date with 17 new retail flavors and three new flavors exclusively for scoop shops. Retail innovations include a new premium family size sundae cake inspired line of four flavors and a caffeinated line of three Barista Bar novelties.
“Exciting prominent and emerging trends including, specialty coffees, teas and traditional bakery favorites like cookies and cakes, led our new product development for 2020,” said Nichole Buryta, brand manager. “We also recognized that our consumers represent varied lifestyles and dietary preferences. Probiotics and non-dairy options continue to reign and therefore expanded the flavor offerings in our frozen yogurt swirled with fruit lines and oat-based pints.”
