He attributes the Holly Cow’s national success to the hard work and ingenuity his team put into the Peabody location inside Chandler’s former ice cream on Route 114.

An active presence on social media also helped spread the word about Holy Cow’s unique flavors during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

For now, you can only get a few pints at the three Holy Cows locations in Gloucester, Peabody, and Salem Willows.

Special edition flavors sell out early. Even on a cold January morning, there were customers waiting outside for their orders as soon as the store opened.
