About Us

Kozy Shack® Inc. is a family owned company that has been producing quality desserts since 1967. In 1994 we expanded our manufacturing facility and corporate offices by relocating from Mineola, New York, to Hicksville, New York. In 1995, in order to support national sales and distribution, we opened our second manufacturing plant in Turlock, California. In 2000, we experienced international growth and added our third manufacturing facility in Lough Egish, Ireland (60 miles north of Dublin).

We have grown from a neighborhood delicatessen serving homemade rice pudding to a major dessert manufacturer with international distribution. Kozy Shack® products are available through popular retail stores: supermarkets, mass merchandisers, club stores and natural food stores. Kozy Shack® products are also carried by convenience stores, military commissaries and foodservice distributors.

In addition to our manufacturing facilities, Kozy Shack® Inc. expanded into distribution services. In 1994, Freshway Distributors Inc. was established. Originally designed to transport Kozy Shack® products, Freshway Distributors Inc. has grown to offer refrigerated consolidation services to other manufacturers and distributors.

Today, Kozy Shack® and Freshway Distributors employ over 400 people dedicated to the production and distribution of the best tasting desserts. Kozy Shack® associates always give special attention to upholding our high standards of quality and service. Never altering from its original principles, Kozy Shack® Inc. maintains a warm and welcoming culture.

Vinnie Gruppuso and his family are actively involved in running the business.
