Where Can I Buy this World Famous Treat?

The primary retail sales location for the university's famous ice cream is the '55 Exchange.  Made possible by a generous gift from Clemson's Class of 1955, the ’55 Exchange is a student run retail operation that sells and serves Clemson’s world famous ice cream and other Clemson produced items, including meat, organic produce, blue cheese, etc.  All revenues generated through the retail center go to support Clemson students and academic programs.

An exciting feature of the ’55 Exchange is the Tiger Slab, where customers can customize their own unique ice cream flavor using Clemson Ice Cream and an assortment of special mix-ins.
