Interview starts at (21:20). Graeter"s became an ice cream empire and a brand synonymous with Cincinnati by not embracing new technology. At a time when the new continuous process ice cream makers were putting neighborhood parlors out of business by making fast, cheap desserts, Graeter"s doubled down on doing things the old fashioned way, and that"s what makes it special. But that"s not to say the chain isn"t innovating. Graeter talks about his company"s collaboration with other local brands, and how it comes up with each year"s unique bonus flavors.
