Mister Softee, a distinguished name in the soft ice cream industry, was founded in 1956 in Philadelphia by William Conway and James Conway. The company embarked on its franchising journey in the same year, quickly establishing itself as one of the largest soft ice cream franchisers in the United States.
With a significant presence across 18 states, the company has maintained its headquarters in Runnemede, New Jersey, since 1958. Today, it remains a family-operated business, co-owned by cousins Jim Conway Jr. and John Conway.
From the beginning, Mister Softee has been a pioneer in the mobile ice cream market. It was the first to introduce mobile truck units, bringing soft ice cream directly to neighborhoods and communities, far beyond the traditional roadside stands and restaurants. This innovative approach set a new industry standard and expanded the reach of soft ice cream.
Today, Mister Softee holds the distinction of being America's oldest and largest franchisee of soft ice cream trucks, a testament to its enduring popularity and success over the decades. What differentiates Mister Softee is not only its rich history and extensive network of franchisees but also the exceptional support and unique opportunities it provides.

This protection pertains specifically to the operation of the mobile franchised business and does not guarantee an exclusive territory. Franchisees may still encounter competition from other franchisees, franchisor-owned outlets, or other distribution channels and competitive brands controlled by Mister Softee.
Mister Softee retains the right to distribute its products and services within the franchisee's territory under the Proprietary Marks through various channels. These channels may include internet sales, supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, rest areas, and potentially even retail shops within the territory.
