MEET THE FOUNDERS OF VAN LEEUWEN
Van Leeuwen was started by brothers Ben and Pete Van Leeuwen and friend Laura O’Neill in 2008 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Their mission was to create an ice cream brand that not only paid attention to the quality and the details but also appreciated the integrity and authenticity of how it’s made. What started as a single buttery yellow truck in Brooklyn, New York, has now grown to 22 scoop shops in NYC and LA and 700 grocery doors across 35 states and was named top 10 ice creams in the USA and number 1 in NYC by Bon Appetit Magazine. The trio developed a cult following around their ice cream brand, inclusive to everyone and offers a premium experience every time.
