What Makes Their Ice Cream Special: 'We have the variety that most places don't have," said Jay Ragusa, president of Gofer Ice Cream. "Some places you go they just have soft ice cream and some places just have hard ice cream. We have both."

Gofer also offers alternatives for those watching their waistlines with "Gofer Lite," a skim-milk-based ice cream that the company has offered since 2004. It has since become more popular as people look for healthy alternatives.
