Edys

Edys (often spelled Edy's) is the brand name used for ice cream and frozen desserts produced by Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. The company was founded by William Dreyer and Joseph Edy in 1928 in Oakland, California. They opened a small neighborhood shop and developed a line of ice cream flavors, growing to national distribution over the following decades.

In the United States, the brand has been marketed under two names reflecting regional trademark decisions: Edy's in the Eastern and Southern states and Dreyer's in the Western states. This dual-brand approach has persisted for many years, though product packaging sometimes uses both names together or alternates by region.

Dreyer's/Edys offers a range of products beyond traditional ice cream, including lower-fat lines such as Slow Churned and premium frozen desserts under lines like Delights and Originals. The company emphasizes smooth texture, use of quality ingredients, and wide flavor variety, with enduring favorites such as vanilla, chocolate, and cookies and cream, along with seasonal and limited-edition flavors.

The brand remains a longstanding presence in American supermarkets and has been involved in various corporate and marketing developments over the decades as part of the broader Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream portfolio. Edy's/Dreyer's is widely recognized for its role in shaping mass-market ice cream in the United States.
