OddFellows Ice Cream Co.

OddFellows still reads as the quirky Williamsburg scoop shop behind pretzel and miso ice cream. It's actually a multi-state franchise brand now, with shops from Tampa to Seoul and outside investors along for the ride. Founders Mohan Kumar and Sam Mason still run it.
The Big Picture
Thirteen years in, OddFellows is still run by the people who started it, and it has quietly become a franchise chain selling territories on the strength of its flavor catalog. The mixed part is transparency and the shop floor: workers rate it 3.1 out of 5 on Glassdoor, and beyond one sentence about eastern Pennsylvania farms it publishes nothing about its suppliers or environmental footprint. Day to day it answers to its founders — plus, increasingly, to the franchisees who now carry its expansion.
