Whitey's Ice Cream is an ice-cream parlor chain based in Moline, Illinois. This ice cream has been an icon of the Illinois and Iowa Quad Cities since it was founded in 1933. Chester Lindgren opened the first store on the corner of 16th Street and 23rd Avenue in Moline, Illinois. He was nicknamed "Whitey" due to his white-blonde colored hair. In 1935 Lindgren hired 15-year-old Bob Tunberg, who worked for him throughout high school and several years after. In 1953 Lindgren sold the store to Tunberg. Tunberg and his wife, Norma, made ice cream during the day, and sold their product in the store at night. In 1979 the business was expanded when a second store opened in Moline, Illinois. After the success of this second store, as well as the addition of several more Illinois stores, the first Iowa store was opened in 1984 in Bettendorf, Iowa. More information...
