How Murphys Grew

Murphys Ice Cream started small but quickly grew!

In 2003, they moved into a bigger place to make more ice cream. This allowed them to start selling their treats to local restaurants and shops.

Then, in 2005, Murphys Ice Cream opened a second shop. This new shop was on Main Street in Killarney, another beautiful town in Kerry.

In 2006, they began using milk from Kerry cattle. This was a special choice to help support this native Irish cow breed.

Murphys Ice Cream has continued to expand. They now have a shop in Dublin on Wicklow Street. They also have a seasonal shop in Tig Áine's, Ballyferriter, which is open during certain times of the year.
