Western Grocer Serving the industry since 1916
CALGARY (June 21, 2022) – Nothing pairs better with summer than ice cream, so to celebrate the start of this sunny season, Foothills Creamery has launched a delicious array of six new ice cream flavours. Ice cream lovers can expect to explore a variety of new flavour profiles – whether you’re a kid at heart, looking for something a bit more sophisticated, or love trying something new. Available in 1.4L ice cream tubs, the new flavours include Cotton Candy, Tiger, Sea Salt Caramel Fudge, Raspberry Chocolate Truffle, Cereal Bowl and Groovy Ube, and they will join Foothills Creamery’s eight existing flavours as permanent staples on grocery store shelves.
A bit about the new flavours:
- Cotton Candy: Pink cotton candy ice cream marbled with a blue marshmallow ribbon. Best paired with Ferris wheel rides, fireworks, and summer nights.
- Tiger: Orange ice cream swirled with black licorice. Best parried with day trips, face painting, and car karaoke.
- Sea Salt Caramel Fudge: Vanilla ice cream with fudge pieces and sea salt caramel swirl. Best paired with beach days, patio nights, and meteor showers.
- Raspberry Chocolate Truffle: Vanilla ice cream swirled with a raspberry ribbon and chocolate flakes. Best paired with dinner parties, game nights, and old friends.
- Cereal Bowl: Breakfast cereal flavoured ice cream with fruity cereal pieces. Best paired with weekend sleep-ins, cartoons, and pajama parties.
- Groovy Ube: Ube flavoured ice cream. Best paired with picnics, grass stains, and family get-togethers.
A Calgary-based success story with more than 50 years under its belt, Foothills Creamery has been in business since 1969 and making ice cream for nearly 40 of those years. Currently, more than 80 flavours of its famous ice cream, sorbet, sherbet, and soft serve can also be found at 500+ independent scoop shops throughout Western Canada.
“Summer season is ice cream season,” says Scott Wegener, Director of Marketing at Foothills Creamery. “We are always looking for fun new flavours that we can bring to the community to bring the scoop shop experience home, and we’re excited to launch these six new ones that we think will bring something fresh to our loyal customers and capture the hearts of new fans across Western Canada. Just add ice cream and enjoy the summer!”
While the Canadian ice cream maker has grown significantly over the past five decades, it has remained committed to providing small batch, craft dairy products that excite dessert lovers of all ages. Maintaining a strong connection to the local community has also been of the utmost importance to Foothills Creamery throughout the years. Whether it has been at mom-and-pop scoop shops or on grocery store shelves, Foothills Creamery has always found a way to meet its fans where they’re at.
Foothills Creamery is carried in more than 100 retail locations across Western Canada – the full product locater can be found here. For more information, please visit www.foothillscreamery.com.

About Foothills Creamery
Foothills Creamery has proudly produced dairy products and served Western Canada for more than 50 years. We got our start by manufacturing butter and eventually expanded our product offerings to include ice cream. With more than 80 different flavours of ice cream, sorbet, sherbet, and soft serve available today, we continue to use the same old-fashioned, barrel-churned techniques as we did in 1969. It’s what makes our ice cream and butter richer, creamier, and more full-bodied. Foothills Creamery is 100% Canadian-owned, with operations based in Calgary and additional locations in Edmonton and Kelowna. Even though we have grown over the past five decades, we remain committed to providing small-batch, craft dairy products that excited butter and dessert lovers of all ages.
