Wall's is a brand of ice cream and frozen desserts that originated in the United Kingdom and has since become known worldwide. The company was founded in 1922 by Thomas Wall II with the aim of using the ice cream business to supplement the income from his meat business during the summer months when demand for meat products was lower. Wall's has grown to become one of the most recognizable ice cream brands, offering a wide range of products from traditional ice cream cones and bars to more innovative frozen treats.
