Version 1
In 1928, German-born ice cream maker William Dreyer partnered with candy maker Joseph Edy in Oakland, California, opening a parlor and plant that became Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream. A year later, as the Depression took hold, they folded marshmallows and walnuts into chocolate ice cream and called it Rocky Road, a flavor meant to sweeten hard times and one that never left the lineup. The partners later split their trades; Dreyer kept the ice cream. In 1977, T. Gary Rogers and William F. Cronk bought the company and scaled it from a regional maker into a national premium brand, with Grand as a signature line. Nestlé later acquired Dreyer’s, yet the name still marks cartons on the West Coast, carrying a 1920s Oakland origin, a Depression-era invention, and a taste that outlasted the crisis that inspired it.
