Who We Are
Our company
In 1928, the High’s brand was born—our ice-cream store chain grew rapidly throughout the Mid-Atlantic States. At one time there were more than 500 locations, making High’s the largest ice-cream store chain in the world!
In 2012, Carroll Independent Fuel Company acquired High’s and began to build off of the strong heritage that everyone knows and loves. Today, we are a chain of 60 convenience stores run by our team of 500 talented individuals.
Our passion to run well operated stores serves as the foundation for our commitment to delight customers. Our goal is to provide our customers the products that they want in a clean, friendly and inviting atmosphere.
Utterly Authentic Since 1928!

Charitable Giving
We believe we have a greater responsibility to society than just providing a welcoming store to visit and a good place to work. Whether it’s giving our time, tangible goods, or money, we are proud to be involved with several charities locally, nationally, and globally. Below are just a few of the organizations that we are proud to work with.
If your organization would like to partner with High’s, please contact us.
This November and December, High’s is proud to support March of Dimes, a nonprofit dedicated to improving maternal health, reducing preventable preterm births and infant deaths, and closing the health equity gap for families.
For the remainder of 2024, High’s will donate $0.30 to March of Dimes for each purchase of High’s branded water products, including 16 oz bottles, liter bottles, gallon jugs, and 24-pack cases.

High’s is a proud partner of the NACS Foundation for Response Relief, this July we are participating yet again for another 24/7 day on Wednesday July 24, 2024. This day celebrates and recognizes first responders, medical and emergency professionals, and Red Cross Volunteers who are there for our communities during times of need.
This year we will be donating twenty-five cents to the American Red Cross for all ice-cream purchases and will be doing a change round up in all stores on 24/7 day with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross.
The American Red Cross has been the nation’s premier emergency response organization for over a century. As part of a worldwide movement that offers neutral humanitarian care to the victims of war, the American Red Cross distinguishes itself by also aiding victims of devastating natural disasters.
We were incredibly proud to work with the Red Cross and aid their hurricane relief efforts for those who were impacted by Harvey, Irma and Maria. Through independent customer donations and a coffee promotion, where 10¢ of every cup of coffee sold in September of 2017 was donated we were able to raise $20,000 to help!
The Maryland Food Bank, an affiliate of Feeding America, was founded in 1979 to coordinate the procurement and distribution of food donations from manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and government agencies to organizations providing free food to the state’s hungry. High’s is proud to support the Maryland Food Bank through monetary gifts, food donations, and volunteer labor.
