Founded in Silver Spring in 1938 by John Gifford, Gifford's Ice Cream & Candy Co. has a long and varied history. Gifford's has changed many hands, however the quality of the ice cream has remained each new owner's priority. Today, the shop sells sorbet, shakes, ice cream cake, packaged candy and more.
