Popsicle
Novelty bars
Bomb Pop, Popsicle, and licensed characters packed upright in the first door. This is what a convenience store restocks when the front case goes empty on a Saturday.
West Haven, CT · Founded 1984
Joe's Ice Cream stocks Hood, Ben & Jerry's and Häagen-Dazs for 100+ Greater New Haven stores. Weekly drops from the West Haven warehouse, no order minimum.
Jack and William Gambardella still run the Clifton Street warehouse. Call William on the pickup line, or Jack at any hour, and tell us the address, the product count, and a max or min spend.
What is in the case
A walk down the freezer doors, not a scoop wall
Novelty bars, pint doors, then the chest. The brands on the wrappers are the catalog we deliver. Stamps stay in the gutter.
Häagen-Dazs
Pint doors
Häagen-Dazs, Ben & Jerry's, and candy ice cream pints behind glass. The door we open when a shop wants name-brand pints, not a parlor flavor list.
Chest
Chest freezer
Cups, pops, and Dove in the blue chest. Soft-serve supplies, candy, soda, and juices ride with the ice cream when the order calls for them.
What we handle
Restock the store, stock the case, or send a truck
Three offers. Weekly warehouse drops, three catering trucks, and the brand register we actually carry. Not a 16-flavor scoop menu.
Wholesale store restock
Weekly and bi-weekly ice cream drops to convenience stores, shops, schools, restaurants, and supermarkets. No order minimum. Pickup at the warehouse if you want to skip the delivery window.

The truck on Clifton Street
Door lettering you can read from the yard: Joe's Ice Cream, (203) 934-5576, 26 Clifton Street, West Haven, USDOT 2458724
That is the box truck. The white catering van is lettered JOE'S ICE CREAM / SNACKS · CANDY · SODA. Two vehicles, one warehouse, two people answering the phone.
“I went to Joe’s Ice Cream last minute for service and Jack took care of me beyond what he should’ve. He urgently gave me pricing, phone calls and transparent information. He literally saved my daughter’s birthday party and I will be forever grateful for that! Any ice cream I need wholesale I will always choose this place. For a big company only run by one to two people is insane how well it’s operated. Thank you again Jack truly!”
Before the truck leaves Clifton

No minimum on any purchase. We do need the product amount and the distance before a truck leaves Clifton Street. When you call, have the address, the number of products, and a maximum or minimum spend.
