OUR VALUES & MISSION Our Ice Creams, Toppings and Baked Goods are made in-house from scratch recipes. We employ real, live persons to churn, freeze, steep, knead, and cook wholesome confectionery foods from the highest quality ingredients. Our staff is the engine that drives the business, and every dollar earned goes towards supporting an American job. Milk and cream is obtained by contented cows close to home, procured from a 1920s family dairy. Fruits are local when in season and regularly preserved for year-round use. Nuts are freshly roasted in South Philadelphia. Chocolate is processed and sourced from Guittard Chocolate Company, founded in San Francisco in 1868. Our rooftop apiary and herb garden at Shane’s supplements honey and spice ingredients. We use natural dyes and flavors wherever possible. Ice cream cones are the greenest food packaging around! All of our paper pails, spoons, napkins, straws and natural cups are biodegradable and will not damage the earth. The Franklin Fountain aims to serve an experience steeped in ideals, drizzled with drollery, and sprinkled with the forgotten f lavors of the American past. 2 CONTENTS Sundaes . 4 Flavors . 6 Toppings . 8 College Ice . 9 Splits . 10 Seasonal . 12 Milk Shakes . 15 Egg Creams . 16 Phosphates . 17 Thirst-Ades . 17 Floats . 18 Sodas . 19 History . 20 FAQs . 24 3 SUNDAES The Franklin Mint . $12 MINT CHIP and VANILLA BEAN ice creams engraved in CHOCOLATE SYRUP, fluffy MARSHMALLOW GLAZE, and FRESH MINT SYRUP, finished with house-made WHIPPED CREAM and a MINT CHOCOLATE COIN from Shane Confectionery. “Nothing tastes sweeter than Honey, save Money” - Poor Richard.
