Rocky Point Ice Cream

Rocky Point Ice Cream's history began in 1997 in Port Moody, British Columbia, with Jamie and Yvette Cuthbert starting a small ice cream shop in a kiosk at Rocky Point Park. The kiosk was an adjunct to their kayak rental business. Over the years, the business expanded, eventually leading to a larger, purpose-built shop, a second location in New Westminster, a concession at Town Centre Park in Coquitlam, mobile scooping trucks, and wholesale partnerships. In 2013, they began making their own small-batch ice cream after attending a five-day boot camp at the University of Guelph. In 2021, they opened a larger production facility, allowing them greater control over their ice cream production.

Here's a more detailed look at their journey:
