It all starts with great brands.

Currently, Guardian Food Concepts operates two retail food concepts-Barker's Frozen Custard and Lee's Ice Cream.

Barker's Frozen Custard offers high-quality, delicious frozen custard, floats, smoothies, specialty items like sundaes, Breezers™ and Bombshells™, and fountain and bottled soft drinks. These types of products are popular with a pedestrian audience, who seek fast, inexpensive, family-friendly food and drink in high-traffic locations. Barker's: Old-fashioned ice cream... with a twist.

Since 1979, Lee's Ice Cream has been a Maryland tradition, with the richest, creamiest, best tasting ice cream in the world. With classic flavors like Vanilla and Death By Chocolate side-by-side with chunky flavors like Fudgie, Original Cookies & Cream on the way, Lee's offers something for everyone. Visit one of our recently renovated store locations to discover why people choose the great Lee's taste... Because everything else is just ice cream.

These brands demonstrate Guardian's commitment to excellence in operations, marketing and profitability. Even more importantly, the success of these concepts demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach on both new brands and as a turn-around strategy for underperforming brands.

We are currently looking at several additional opportunities to expand our reach, and are always looking at new concepts. If you have an opportunity you would like to discuss with us, please contact Robert Arnold.
