Founded by NC State alumnus Jared Plummer, the parlor began operations in March 2015 out of a travel trailer-turned ice cream truck.

By serving non-traditional flavors like grilled cheese and pizza, Plummer gained the public support and funds to open his first brick and mortar location in Raleigh in 2017.

[1][3] An annually recurring collaboration is the "kid chef" contest, where children submit ideas for ice cream flavors, with the top six making up the next monthly series.

[12] In a 2021 Poole College interview, Plummer stated that working as an accountant helped him feel confident starting his own business.

[6] Plummer drove the truck to festivals and outside breweries to promote the business but often remained parked outside The Cookery restaurant in Durham.

[9][17] In June 2024, the parlor announced plans to open a sixth location at the Waverly Place Shopping Center in Cary.

[19] Despite recent expansions, Plummer stated he had no intention of making the business national, opting to stay in the Raleigh metro area where he started[1] and embracing the friendly rivalry against other local parlors, including Andia's Ice Cream and FRESH.
