Chances are if you are from the area, you are very familiar with Oberweis Dairy. They have ice cream stores scattered all over the Midwest, with the majority here in the Chicago suburbs. Joe Oberweis is the current president and the fourth generation to operate the family business. Here is the Oberweis promise, “Families require careful nurturing. There are no secret recipes or shortcuts. You can see it as a mother tends to her children, just as a family farmer cares for his land and livestock. The commitment to the best for your family drives every decision we make because we want the best for our family, too. We do not compromise on the ingredients we select or the processing methods we use or the superior taste you’ve come to expect. We’re proud of all the products that bear our family name: Oberweis. It’s a promise to your family that what you’re about to enjoy has been sincerely cared for in every possible way, earning the label proudly worn on the package. Oberweis. Simply The Best.”
