Franchise agreements granted exclusive use of the Zest-O-Mat machines in a given territory under the Zesto name. Originally meant to compete with Dairy Queen, Zesto was conceived as an ice cream only store with no other food items. By the late 1940’s Zesto had over 50 locations. Deeply rooted in the America diner era, our team members enjoy a fun and positive work environment that is deeply committed to the mission of delivering an unforgettable experience, insanely fresh food, and premium ice cream that makes our customers become “raving fans”.
