Joy Cone Company

About Us

Joy Cone Company manufacturers ice cream cones and distributes them nationally. The ''Joy'' retail brand is available at most grocery stores in Flagstaff.

We are an independent, 100% employee-owned business practicing the art of cone baking since 1918. Starting as a family business, we built an organization we remain proud to be a part of over 100 years later. With that many years under our belt, we know how to make the best cones on the market. Our product quality, paired with our exceptional customer service, has helped us become the largest ice cream cone producer in the United States.

Currently we produce over 2 billion cones each year from four locations. Our corporate location in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, is where it all started. We are able to serve our customers across the U.S. and Mexico with the help of our Flagstaff, Arizona, Le Mars, Iowa and Mexico City, Mexico facilities. From these facilities, we produce our full portfolio of products including the staples in our business: cake cones, sugar cones, waffle cones, and waffle bowls.

Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is to make our product better than any other company does. Ice cream cones are that product. First of all, we have developed our own cone ovens which are built right here in our plant. We use a time-tested family recipe that has been passed from one generation to the next. We pay close attention to every detail of mixing the batter, baking the cones, and then packaging them. Even in the fast-paced, automated world of today, we rely on personal attention to ensure quality.
