Chapman's Super Premium Plus The Only Strawberry Ice Cream

Brand History and Evolution

Chapman's is a staple of Canadian culture, founded in 1973 by David and Penny Chapman. The brand began in Markdale, Ontario, when the couple purchased the Creamery and started producing high-quality ice cream. Over the decades, Chapman's has grown into the largest independent ice cream manufacturer in Canada, known for its commitment to high-quality ingredients and its resilience, notably rebuilding its entire facility after a devastating fire in 2009.

Manufacturing and Sourcing

Every tub of Chapman's ice cream, including the Super Premium Plus line, is produced in Markdale, Ontario. The company takes pride in using 100% Canadian dairy, supporting local farmers across the country. The "Super Premium Plus" line specifically targets the gourmet market, featuring lower overrun and higher butterfat content for a richer, denser texture compared to standard offerings.

Ownership and Corporate Identity

Unlike many global competitors that have been acquired by multinational conglomerates, Chapman's remains a proudly family-owned and operated Canadian business. Ownership has transitioned to the next generation, with Ashley Chapman leading the company. This independence allows them to maintain a strong focus on community involvement and product innovation tailored specifically to the Canadian palate.
