The Nightingale story
The journey of Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches started in 2016 when Hannah Pollack, a former sous chef, and her Belgian-born husband, Xavier Meers, began crafting ice cream sandwiches in a Richmond, Virginia pool hall. They combined their European culinary traditions with Southern charm, creating a dessert that’s both sophisticated and nostalgic.
Hannah and Xavier’s dedication to quality and flavor quickly caught the attention of dessert lovers—and after years of growth, they found themselves with a growing fan base on TikTok and beyond. But seeing their handcrafted treats at Kroger, one of their hometown’s go-to grocery stores, is something that truly feels like a dream come true for the duo. Kroger is always bringing sweetness!
“Growing up in Virginia, Kroger has been a go-to grocery store for me said Hannah Pollack, President, and CEO. “It’s a dream come true to see Nightingale ice cream sandwiches on Kroger’s shelves, bringing our handcrafted treats to communities nationwide.”
So, next time you find yourself strolling down the frozen treat aisle at Kroger, be sure to look for the Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches pack. With their chef-inspired flavors, high-quality ingredients, and handcrafted charm, they’re the ultimate frozen dessert indulgence.
