The Quinn family have been involved in convenience retailing in Cookstown, since 1967. From the very start, whipped ice cream was at the centre of the business, with customers coming into the town from miles around to taste ‘Quinn’s Ice Cream’. Soon scooped ice cream was introduced, complementing the whipped offering.

In 2011, the family began to make its own Italian-style Gelato to sell in their two Cookstown shops. It’s now available in more than forty fantastic flavours and they’ve added sorbets to the range. They sell them in 5 litre ‘wide’ Napoli dishes which help create the true Italian Gelateria look. They will be wholesaling their range of products to 7 stores in 2014 and projected to an additional 15 stores in 2015.

Our favourite flavours are Raspberry Quella, Honeycomb and Bubblegum, but sometimes we crave the Lemon Sorbet. We don’t feel too guilty about indulging either. These ice-creams are lower in fat than most, and higher in taste!
