High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Thomas A. Carvelas, also known as Tom Carvel (July 14, 1906 – October 21, 1990) was a Greek-born American businessman and entrepreneur known for the invention and promotion of soft ice cream in the northeastern United States. He is the founder of the Carvel brand and franchise, and often considered the father of modern franchising in the United States.Carvel began selling ice cream in Hartsdale, New York, in 1929, out of his truck. Then, on Memorial Day weekend of 1934, Carvel's truck suffered a flat tire--so he pulled into a parking lot next to a pottery store and began selling his melting ice cream to vacationers driving by. When (within two days) he realized he had sold his entire supply of ice cream, he concluded that he could increase his profits by working from a fixed location (rather than traveling).The owner of the pottery store consented to allow Carvel to use electricity from his store, so he opened his parked truck for ice cream sales.
