Jeni spent time in college mixing essential oils and creating perfumes, with the help of a friend who was a chemistry graduate student + provided her scented chemicals. After deciding to mix the essential oil cayenne pepper into chocolate ice cream, Jeni took a bite and realized immediately she wanted to make ice cream for her career. She dropped out of OSU weeks later to start her ice cream business.

The beginning phases 🍦
Before it became Jeni’s, the ice cream shop had been given the name “Scream Ice Cream.” In 1996, Jeni earned a spot as a vendor in the North Market Downtown serving up Scream.
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams officially launched in November of 2002, where they continued as a vendor in the North Market. Jeni worked at the counter in the North Market for years, building relationships with customers that turned into long lines waiting for their scoop. Some of the classic flavors of today — like Salty Caramel, Wildberry Lavender, and Brambleberry Crisp — all originated in the early years at the market.
In 2005, Jeni opened her first scoop outside of the market, which was the start of a major expansion for her ice cream company.
