In trademark dispute, Austin-based Amy’s Ice Creams sues frozen foods company
A new cold war is brewing, this time between a Central Texas ice cream chain and a California-based maker of frozen foods.
Austin-based Amy’s Ice Creams has filed suit in U.S. District Court against Amy’s Kitchen, accusing the company of trademark infringement and unfair competition, among other things, according to court documents.
Amy’s Ice Creams got its start in 1984, founder Amy Simmons told the American-Statesman, and has since grown to 15 locations in Austin, Houston and San Antonio. Amy’s Kitchen, she says, wasn’t founded until about three years later.
The two businesses co-existed peacefully for more than two decades, until Simmons said she learned Amy’s Kitchen – best known for its organic lunch and dinner dishes such as burritos, enchiladas, macaroni and cheese and soups – had plans to roll out a line of frozen treats.
