Although a deal was not finalized, Barbara Corcoran indicated it was the best ice cream she had ever tasted and Mark Cuban said he loved the idea.[2]
In 2014, eCreamery was featured in a famous photo of Sir Paul McCartney and Warren Buffett enjoying eCreamery ice cream on a bench outside the parlor.[3] In 2015, the company outgrew production capabilities at the parlor and opened a shipping warehouse and commercial kitchen.[4] All online orders are now shipped nationwide from this location, packed with dry ice in a reusable cooler.[5]
In 2019, eCreamery merged with Carson's Cookie Fix of Omaha, Nebraska. Founded by Maddie Carson, the company specializes in custom, hand decorated cookies.[6] Ice cream and cookies are available on the eCreamery website.
