The original Triplett Avenue stand remains a local landmark, still operating with its original machines and run by the third generation of the Strickland family. Guided by a philosophy of quality ingredients, daily freshness, and treating people right, the brand has thrived for nearly nine decades. Strickland’s began franchising throughout Ohio in 2002 and most recently expanded to Costa Mesa in early 2024 with Orange County native and longtime fan Neil Liu.
