Company Culture

What is Fentons about?

Fentons is about COMMUNITY - We pride ourselves on being a unique part of the community. At Fentons, our customers and our staff reflect the diversity and personality of the Bay Area. We are actively involved in the community within our walls and also reach out to the community around us by participating in many local events and fundraisers. As a Fentons Employee you are expected to embrace fundraising events that take place at Fentons Creamery and to occasionally donate a few hours of time and energy in support of community events and benefits that take place offsite.

Fentons is about ICE CREAM - Our ice cream is known all over the world, literally. We are known for consistently delivering a delicious ice cream product that wins many awards! Our signature flavors, developed by Fentons, are Toasted Almond, Swiss Milk Chocolate and Rocky Road (even though Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream also takes credit for this product) and recently CCAC and Coffee Cookie Dream among others.

Fentons is about FUN - What’s more fun than ice cream? Relaxing and eating ice cream in a fun, nostalgic atmosphere!

Fentons is about PRIDE - We have a long tradition and an enviable reputation. An intricate part of the continued success of Fentons Creamery is an ongoing understanding and appreciation for the tradition that we uphold and the significance of our place in History. We are one of the last of the great independents, we are not a cookie-cutter chain, we are the real McCoy and this is a fact that everyone involved in Fentons, staff and patrons alike, should feel proud about!

FENTONS GOLDEN RULE: “SERVE OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE SERVED.”
