"1-900-Ice-Cream transitioned to an online-only model during the pandemic, leading to a 132% increase in revenue from February to April. Founder Ryan Fitzgerald sells his ice cream online, with flavors selling out in minutes. Orders are sometimes shipped, while at other times, they are picked up from a van at pre-announced locations. The ice cream is known for its unique flavors and ingredients like Madagascar vanilla beans and Ruffles potato chips. Pints are sold in four-packs for $48, and ice cream pies are also available. Fitzgerald supports cafes and shops that previously stocked his ice cream by donating extra profits and offering customer donation incentives." - Sarah Maiellano
