ASK ERNIE: HOW DO I INVEST IN TURKEY HILL?

Julie P. from Ambridge, PA asks: I was looking to invest for the first time in the stock market and was wondering if Turkey Hill has a stock symbol. I am asking because I only eat Turkey Hill these days.

Thanks for your question, Julie. Turkey Hill itself isn’t a publicly owned and traded company and therefore has no stock for sale, but our parent company, Kroger, is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol KR if you’d like to invest a bit in that. 

I guess you could consider our ice cream and iced tea like stock. Every time you buy those products, you’re making an investment in Turkey Hill Dairy. And unlike the stock market, where you might lose money or wait a long time to see a profit, with our ice cream and iced tea you’re rewarded immediately!

On that note, I’m headed to the grocery store after work to make several investments of my own!

Best,
Ernie

    That’s interesting. Kroger is a familiar name. Have to keep my priorities though…ice cream is much tastier than a stock certificate.

  2. Jacqueline Seewald says:

    I’ve never heard of Kroger before but will check it out. I’ll keep buying Turkey Hill on a regular basis just as I have been doing. You definitely offer quality products.

  3. Robbin L. Netz says:

    What a good question! Also great to see positive affirmation of quality products, I think many of us truly appreciate the personal touch the T.H.T. offers. Thanks!

  4. Sue says:

    We used to have Kroger grocery stores in our area(Western PA),but haven’t seen that name around here in ages. Sure am glad we have TH ice cream though!

  5. Stefanie Schmidt says:

    Turkey Hill is always a great investment when you buy it.

  7. Lorraine says:

    Thanks for all the interesting info.

  8. Adrian says:

    Hey guys, when are the Turkey Hill calendars going out? Do we need to sign up for them?

  9. Caroline says:

    Kroger, that is a surprise. Thats a midwest outfit and I would have thought it was out of the TH marketing area back a few years. I would have guessed it was either private or part of a giant food company like Kraft, Nestle’s or Uni_Lever but not a supermarket company.

  10. Margaret M says:

    I like the odds of “investing” in Turkey Hill products rather than the Stock Market. You know you can never lose with Turkey Hill and I do my share of keeping them in business.

  11. lee carr says:

    I am not they kind that buys stock, but I will buy Turkey Hill everything else

  12. Bob Kessler Jr says:

    Turkey Hill still remains popular without being involved in the stock market. As the Dow Jones loses points I see all the good points in buying and eating Turkey Hill ice cream. Turkey Hill will always be part of my economic plan.

  13. mary frey says:

    AT LEAST TURKEY HILL IS PROUD AND( MADE IN THE USA) NOT OVER SEAS

  14. Betty Henny says:

    I, together with numerous others, are heavily “invested” in TH. We receive “dividends” in the form of your cents off coupons. However, we seem to “eat up” all these very quickly. Somethings are more important than “stock”! How can we put a price on the enjoyment and pleasure of those “spoonfuls” of delicious ice cream! Keep up the good work and keep those new flavors coming!

  15. mary anne kazlauskas says:

    my grandkids, boy 13, girl 7, love turkey hill ice cream. they get that from their grandmother ! anyway, i looked up kroger on stock exchange, contacted an online broker, who only charges $7.00 per trade and have ordered a share of stock for each of the kids for christmas. they will love it !

  16. Maryann says:

    Turkey Hill, a great investment! Makes you relax and forget!! Thank you.

  17. Bonnie Traher says:

    Sounds like a plan-I need ice cream.

  18. Thomas says:

    Used to shop at Kroger all the time—about 50 years ago before they left Akron, Ohio

  19. Susan says:

    Miss Kroger stores shoped them when I lived in Ohio 35 years ago.

    I wish I could buy stock in Turkey Hill Ice Cream, but for now I am just glad I can enjoy all the lucious flavors that are out this time of year…..Happy Thanksgiving everyone……..

  24. Terry says:

    If you were out of the market six months ago,you are now in the cat birds seat.Like me.

  25. Ann says:

    I love the idea one reader came up with of chopping up a mango into the vanilla ice cream! I have to get out and buy both TH vanilla ice cream and a nice ripe mango. Anything with TH ice cream is delicious!

  26. terri d says:

    I invest in Turkey Hill all the time, even when the price does not drop!! What’s more important, the cost or my love of Turkey Hill Ice Cream at any cost????

  27. Vicky Gregor says:

    Yummy, Yummy, in my Tummy! I love Turkey Hill Ice Cream with Hot fudge Topping!!! double Yum,Yum!!!!

  29. debbi shaw says:

    i love your ice cream it is the best

  30. debbi shaw says:

    i love turkey hill and thanks to krogers can get it.

  31. Henry Miller says:

    I was disappointed to see you reduce the size of the container again. Keep the full size — I don’t mind spending a little more. First you went from 1/2 gallon to 3.5 quarts and now down to 3 quarts — what’s next? Please don’t keep cutting back on the quantity of ice cream.
