History
Whit's was founded by Chuck and Lisa Whitman on March 3rd, 2003, in Granville, Ohio, after Chuck perfected his frozen custard recipe.[4] Their first store was opened on Prospect Street and was moved to Broadway 9 months later. In 2012, the Granville location was sold by the Whitmans to local owners.[5]
In 2025, the Whit’s Frozen Custard franchise system was acquired by Space Cowboys Restaurant Group, owned by Bill Aseere. After the acquisition, the Whit's HQ was moved to Independence, Kentucky. The franchise also received an updated logo and a loyalty program app.[3]
