History
Van Leeuwen began as a food truck in New York City in 2008 between Pete Van Leeuwen, his brother Ben, and their partner Laura O'Neill. Their yellow trucks sold flavors based on imported ingredients like Ceylon cinnamon, Sicilian pistachios, and vanilla from Papua New Guinea.[1] Van Leeuwen opened its 30th store in 2022 with first locations in Dallas[2] and Colorado.[3]
