Whirl-A-Whip
309 S 3rd Street
Girard, Illinois 62640
(217) 627-3210 |
The historic Whirl-A-Whip first opened in 1957. It’s the special ice-cream maker that gives the restaurant its name. It still uses the 1950s-era Whirl-A-Whip ice cream machine, which whips each cup of ice cream individually. It’s not scooped out of a tub.
The Whirl-A-Whip machine is essentially a precursor to Dairy Queen’s Blizzard machines. |
