Founded in 1936 in Akron, Ohio, Strickland’s has remained a generational favorite for nearly a century. The Costa Mesa location, owned by longtime fan and franchise owner Neil Liu, opened in early 2024 and has quickly become the West Coast home of the beloved brand, delivering the same dense, rich ice cream made in small batches using vintage style machines, premium ingredients, real fruit, and real nuts. 

The shop keeps fans coming back with a rotating Flavor of the Day calendar shared monthly on Instagram, driving excitement for seasonal and limited time flavors that often sell out. As Strickland’s approaches its 100th year in business, the brand continues honoring its legacy while building new traditions for families in both Ohio and Southern California. Beyond its ice cream, Strickland’s is also known for award winning milkshakes and Arctic Twisters, earning recognition from outlets including CBS Los Angeles, Daily Pilot, Culture OC, and Yelp OC.

About Strickland’s Ice CreamFounded in 1936 by Bill and Florence Strickland, Strickland’s Ice Cream began in Akron, Ohio, where Bill perfected a proprietary recipe and helped engineer a one of a kind batch freezer to create a richer, denser product. The original Triplett Avenue stand remains a local landmark, still operating with its original machines and run by the third generation of the Strickland family. Guided by a philosophy of quality ingredients, daily freshness, and treating people right, the brand has thrived for nearly nine decades. Strickland’s began franchising throughout Ohio in 2002 and most recently expanded to Costa Mesa in early 2024 with Orange County native and longtime fan Neil Liu.
