joined the business, becoming the fourth generation of the Graeter
family to make ice cream. Together they operate the business at the
same Reading Road location their great-grandmother Regina bought
in 1934.
In 2004, the fourth generation of the Graeter family took ownership of
the then 134 year-old ice cream company. While only 3% of family
businesses survive to the fourth generation of family ownership, Chip,
Bob, and Richard fully intend to pass on Cincinnati’s historic and
beloved ice cream company to Louis Graeter’s great-great grandchildren,
who will be taught to make French Pot ice cream just the way he
did, two gallons at a time.
