DescriptionSnowflake icecream sign

Owen Norton sold the ice cream business assets of Westland Snowflake Limited to Development West Coast (DWC) in 2008 - the new company was called West Coast Snowflake.
The business continued under the new management for two more years, in an effort to keep this important regional brand alive, but the competitive retail environment proved too much, and Snowflake finally closed its doors in 2010.Map^[1]ContributorMarie Summers

Lei-Anne Gaby Remember getting free chocolate bombs from old Mr Norton way back in the early 1950's....those were the days!!

Doris Blanchard Lei-Anne Gaby, I loved those chocolate bombs when my family’s shop in Greymouth sold that ice cream in the 1940s. No other has compared since.

Lei-Anne Gaby Doris Blanchard and the young people today would think our memories are faulty..

Russell Dunn I loved the Snowflake ice cream sandwiches with pink wafers. My grandmother used to get them for us at the Pancake Rocks store.

Charles Hutana Greetings Coasters
