Very tight driveway for tractor and trailer, not designed for 53 footers. One way in and out. Be prepared to wait to come in if a truck is leaving out. You may be holding up traffic at the 2 way intersection. Been waiting for an hour to get unloaded.

?We visited the Thrifty Ice Cream Plant? today and it was a marvelous experience. Mr. Briggs (Tim) who led our tour has been working with the company for approximately 36 years and his love and enthusiasm transpires through his outgoing voice and friendly personality.Personally, as a mother of four children, the only production plants I ever seen have been on television, in programs like Mrs. Rogers Neighborhood or How it's Made. However, today our kind and helpful tour guide Mr. Briggs, shared with us an experience that will stay in our memories for a lifetime.Mr. Briggs has had such a positive time in Thrifty Ice Cream that he said in his words "it's like a family" and that's the kind of spirit we encountered today as we meet with Mr. Privitt and Mr. Arellano who also helped lead the tour.From the careful manufacturing process, to the assembly, to the traveling through conveyor belts and the quality control workers, it was like observing an enchanted world of sweet, rich, goodness!This Thrifty Ice Cream Plant is a beautiful, hidden ? gem in the city of El Monte and I am so happy to know that their flavour full ice cream ? is made locally and it's supporting the community with many jobs.At the end of the Ice Cream Plant tour we were spoiled with many samples of delicious ? ice cream that Mr. Tim was glad to serve our children and adults. Flavors like black cherry ?, ? strawberry lemonade ? sherbet, macadamia caramel, ? orange sherbet, cotton candy ?, cookies 'n cream, ? chocolate malted krunch, rocky road ice cream ? and many others I cannot recalled by name.The delicious, sweet milky flavors of dreamy goodness brought back memories of my time as a youth, (about thirty two years ago or so) when I used to work in South Pasadena on Fair Oaks Ave. I remember getting off work at the local fast food restaurant nearby and stopping at Thrifty (Rite Aid) to purchase a single scoop or sometimes double scoop of ice cream ? goodness to enjoy as I walked 2.4 miles to my home in Alhambra.I was very pleased to be reminded that markets such as Albertsons, Northgate Market, Smart & Final, Rite Aid and Vons carry their delicious ? Thrifty ice cream ? and if that's not enough even Instacart delivers it right at your door.?If you read thus far, what are you waiting? Go purchase your own tub of Thrifty Ice Cream ? today and share it with your own family ? creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Best Chocolate Chip on West Coast! Wish this Rite Aid in Northwest Bellingham, Wa would get its inventory act together ? Imagine empty freezers or just two flavors in one cold case, the other empty. This particular Rite Aid is pretty bad on stocking the best Ice Cream in the U.S!

Best ice cream ever ?

Carmen Torres

Really disappointed..... Bought Thrifty ice cream (pineapple coconut) at our local supermarket. Was looking forward to having some. The ice cream is not like it used to be. It tasted like vanilla with a hint of pineapple and barely a hint of coconut. Will think twice before I chose to buy your brand again ?

This is where they make that wonderful deliciousness that's called Thrifty ice cream. Best darn ice cream at a y price...its great that it's only a couple of bucks. Classic flavors. They don't sell directly here, but it's still cool to see the factory.
