Frequently Asked Questions
You have questions which is only natural. We have done our best to answer the most common questions we get asked.
Why does OMH not charge franchise fees?
Old Meeting House Ice Cream is exactly that, we are an all natural handmade ice cream manufacturer and not a franchising company. We are proud of our products and are confident that our quality and commitment to mutual success will help us become one of the largest ice cream companies in America, without the need to hem small business owners into lengthy contracts and outrageous fees. It's exactly those partners with their own dreams and efforts that is making OMH what it is today and deserves our respect, not exploitation!
How can you provide so many detailed OPTIONS?
We have been in business for 58 years and have learned the ropes as we have gone along. We firmly believe that everyone has different circumstances and interests, and by creating so many options, the flexibility allows everyone to be on the winning side. After all, we're in it together. We also have many contacts and partner businesses who lend a hand - like Sysco Foods. Because of our strong sense of business ethics and principles, we don't want to sell our ice cream products to people who are not 100% committed what we have to offer, so options allow the flexibility to guarantee success.
How is your ice cream different from all others?
If you are asking this particular question we know you haven't tried our ice cream! It's made with 16% butterfat and is the most exquisite experience you can have with a frozen food product. Our ice cream is all natural which means we have no artificial colors or preservatives. This is also the reason our ice cream doesn't radiate colors at frequencies that can be picked up on distant planets!
Why is OMH so committed to working with schools?
Many of the people who work for OMH have children who are in or will be in the American schooling system. We see how schools have been in a "Catch 22" situation: they need to earn extra income from students, but until now the only real feasible options have involved highly sugared, preservative packed soft drinks and fatty foods.
In this ever more health conscious society and with schools fighting for funding, we at OMH put our heads together to see if we could come up with a possible solution to both issues with our amazing ice cream. It just goes to show that with persistence and a goal what can be achieved as we have developed a product with schools in mind that is low in fat and most of the little fat it does have is unsaturated, has lower carbs with no sugar added, high in dietary fiber and to top it all off has extra levels of the protein growing minds need.
If OMH Ice Cream is primarily an ice cream producer, why do you have a supplies shop?
Old Meeting House is completely committed to helping its approved partners. As with any industry prices for supplies vary, depending on order sizes. When all OMH approved partners buy as a group we get preferential pricing which not only cuts costs for partners but also lowers overall costs for customers.
