The Franklin Fountain operates as a nostalgic ice cream parlor and soda fountain experience in Philadelphia, offering on-premises ice cream served in cones, sundaes, and sodas drawn from a historic 1904 fountain. The establishment emphasizes a hands-on, early 20th-century atmosphere, with soda jerks dressed in period attire and a historic interior that includes tin ceilings, marble counters, and mosaic tile floors. In addition to serving treats, the business acts as a small-scale museum-like setting that conveys the history of ice cream and soda fountains to its customers. The company is run by brothers Ryan and Eric Berley and functions within the food and beverage services sector, focusing on authentic, locally sourced toppings such as hot fudge and caramel prepared from fresh ingredients in-house, which supports a made-on-premises model.
