According to family legend, lines 50 deep instantly materialized the day J.V., Richard, and Delbert Meadows opened their first custard stand in Duncansville, PA. That was in 1950, and the lines have rarely gone down since then. That's because the brothers created a smooth, creamy frozen custard, and The Meadows Original Frozen Custard still stays true to that original family recipe. It's proved so popular that the shop has now expanded and boasts franchises across the region.

At each frozen custard shop, the staff makes their frozen treats fresh throughout the day in rotating flavors such as butter pecan, dirty turtle, and strawberry cookie dough. Alongside the traditional custards, they also sell blended shakes and floats, sundaes, italian ice, and custard cakes.
