MATT LEATHERBY | Leatherby's Family Creamery

MATT LEATHERBY is part of a BIG family! That BIG family is part of the Northern California institution we know as Leatherby's Family Creamery. At Leatherby's, it's all about the generous portions of ice cream at a place where it is all about family and community. With five locations, Leatherby has his touch on all five stores including the recent opening of the Folsom location which has been a HUGE success. Today we take a peek inside of the operations of this first class establishment.

HOST STEVE BUZZARD on Matt Leatherby |  "I have always loved being able to dive in and explore the inner workings of successful businesses like Leatherby's. This conversation was truly more than I expected!"

Our Connection |  I have known Matt and his family for many years. I have also had the honor of being the DJ for the Annual Leatherby's Family Creamery Christmas Party that brings all the stores together for one night to celebrate.
