Ashley's Ice Cream is personally relevant to me because in the summertime I always go to the one in Hamden because it is good, and they have my favorite flavor. I love the ice cream they have and the service isn't that bad. My favorite flavor is the Chocolate Chocolate Chip with rainbow sprinkles. This flavor is the best flavor they have to me; it is if you like chocolate anyway.
Ashley's has been around for a long time. They openned for business in 1979 on College Street in New Haven. Shortly after they started winning awards , and crowds would flock to the store, which made them decide to make a second store.
The owners became enamored with Ashley Whippet- the famous Frisbee catching dog (a Connecticut invention by the way, the frisbee, not the whippet obviously). This is how they got the name Ashley's Ice Cream. The biggest size ice cream they serve is on a Frisbee.
New Haven will always be the first home of Ashley's, but since their ice cream is so good they had to add other locations. Ashley’s Hamden Plaza has been scooping up creamy deliciousness in nearby Hamden since 1983. Three other locations followed: Guilford, Branford and Madison which means there are five locations. Ashley's was recently named best Ice Cream in Connecticut for its fourteenth year in a row. That shows just how good they are.
So the name Ashley's was from the world famous dog Ashley Whippet. Ashley was famous for frisbee, his owner Alex Stein led him to the middle of Dodger's stadium and threw it across the field. Ashley caught the Frisbee six-feet in the air. Thousands of fans were surprised and enjoyed the dog . Then Alex and Ashley were separated when they put Alex in jail for having the dog in dodgers stadium.
