History
Goodberry's Creameries began over in the United States back in 1988. Founded on the principle of bringing back ice-cream (the way it used to be), Goodberry's quickly became a hit in North and South Carolina and spawned many copy cats throughout the United States. Visit Goodberry's in the USA.

In the late 1990's the first Australian Goodberry's store was opened right here in Canberra - Gartside St in Erindale. It didn't take long for the Australian equivalent of Goodberry's to match it's US counterparts success. Soon Goodberry's had become a household name, particularly in the south of Canberra.

In 2003 the Erindale store was bought by its present owners while the previous owner began expanding the franchise, first to Belconnen, then to Dickson and Woden, bringing the fantastic frozen custard taste sensation to the rest of Canberra.

Unfortunately, despite the continued success of the stores themselves, the franchisor for the Goodberry's group collapsed, largely thanks to mismanagement and interference from new "capital investors".

The aftermath saw the four stores in Canberra without a franchisor, and without the rights to the Goodberry's name. This forced them to reunite under a new banner - Jigsaw Creameries. The ongoing difficulties associated with the name change and with legal battles from old franchisors, new franchisors and prospective franchisors saw the sale or closure of all but one of the stores.

This left the Erindale creamery, as of January 2006, the only remaining store still owned and operated by original Goodberry's team members.

In 2007, the Erindale team met with Goodberry's in the USA and reforged the partnership that had been broken by the collapse of the old franchisor. The result is the same store, with the same owners, the same staff, the same great service, and best of all, the same fantastic products, but returned to the Goodberry's name.
