M. Hibbard Frozen Custard

Hibbard’s Frozen Custard was established 1939 by Harold F. Hibbard in Lewiston, NY. Harold started with a relatively small stand and one machine that is currently still in use at the original store. Harold Hibbard got the idea for a custard stand from his neighbor at a vacation home in Florida. He brought the recipe to Lewiston, where he owned a Chevrolet agency and several gas stations, and picked a spot of vacant land he owned to put the stand. It’s been there ever since.
This landmark was passed down to Harold’s sons James Hibbard and Donald Hibbard. They were given control of Hibbard’s, which had recently added a full-service restaurant to take advantage of traffic from the Lewiston Suspension Bridge and the workers building the Niagara Power Project.
The stand’s high popularity remains the same, drawing visitors and residents to the Lewiston location. The fundamental idea hasn’t changed — less air churned in the custard makes for a more intense flavor.
Steel Sculpture artist, Michael Joseph Hibbard, fourth generation of the Hibbard family, saw the potential of his family product and knew it could have the equally dramatic effects on people in South FL that it did and still does, on Lewiston Natives. With this thought in mind, he used his creative abilities to form M. Hibbard Frozen Custard in Weston, FL. Michael’s purpose is to give the opportunity to people living in all areas to discover the same great taste that Lewiston residents did in 1939, by using the unique recipe’s of his Great-Grandfather.
