Nightingale Ice Cream, the woman-owned, chef-founded brand known for its handcrafted ice cream sandwiches, is expanding distribution in select Whole Foods Market stores across the US Midwest, Southwest, Rocky Mountains and Florida markets. The premium products will be available in over 400 Whole Foods Market locations by the end of summer 2025, significantly increasing the label’s national footprint.
“We’re thrilled to expand our collaboration with Nightingale Ice Cream across four new regions, bringing their exceptional ice cream sandwiches to even more of our customers,” said Daniella Cady, senior bakery category merchant at Whole Foods Market. “Their commitment to innovative flavors perfectly aligns with what our shoppers are looking for in premium frozen treats.”
“We love working with Whole Foods Market because they truly care about the things that matter to us – quality ingredients and a commitment to premium, innovative offerings,” said Hannah Pollack, founder of Richmond, Virginia-headquartered Nightingale Ice Cream. “It’s incredibly rewarding to partner with a retailer that shares our values and to see our sandwiches reach even more communities across the country.”
Popular flavors like Banana Pudding, Cookie Monster, and Strawberry Shortcake will be available in these regional markets, offering consumers a new take on the classic ice cream sandwich.
