Bruce Reed, the founder of Bruster's is a real ice cream guy. You can see it in his eyes and sometimes you can see it in his beard too! If you think real hard about it, you might be able to figure out where the name came from.
Anyway, back in 1989, Bruce opened his first store in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania. People came from miles around to enjoy the tasty treats that Bruce made right in the shop.
Now there are Bruster's Real Ice Cream shops all over the country. And every one of them has two things in common. They are all owned by people, like Bruce, who are truly passionate about ice cream. And they all make their fresh ice creams, cakes, pies, and even waffle cones right inside their stores.
If you read this far in the About Us section of the site, you're probably passionate about ice cream too, or you have a lot of time on your hands. Either way, treat yourself.

Benjamin Elijah Mays was born in the town of Epworth, southeast of Greenwood, in August 1894. Mays served as president of Morehouse College from 1940 to 1967. Perhaps the most significant relationship that he developed during his time at Morehouse was with Martin Luther King. Previously listed as one of South Carolina Eleven Most Endangered Properties, Mays birthplace has been threatened with collapse because of numerous years of neglect. In 2002 Palmetto Conservation Foundation negotiated a contract to purchase and move the Mays Birthplace from its current location—ensuring its long term preservation and protection. The Mays home has been moved to the GLEAMNS campus off of East Cambridge Avenue in Greenwood.
The South Carolina National Heritage Corridor extends 240 miles across South Carolina, stretching from the mountains of Oconee County, along the Savannah River, to the port city of Charleston. The Corridor comes directly through Greenwood! The 14 counties of the corridor offer a cross-section of the state's history, culture, and natural landscapes. The area describes the evolution of upcountry and lowcountry life, from grand plantations and simple farms to mill villages and urban centers, and how their history affected South Carolina as a state and America as a nation.
Tournament tennis is a popular pastime in the Greenwood area. There’s more than 50 professionally-maintained hard or clay courts in the area. League play is popular year-round for all ages and the Greenwood area is always well-represented in the state playoffs yearly.

Dedicated wildlife management experts and generous landowners that provide land for public hunting make Greenwood and surrounding counties one of the most popular areas in the southeast for hunting and fishing. Rolling hills, undeveloped forests and an abundance of streams spawn a heavy population of deer, wild turkey and other small game. If it’s the the big buck you’re scouting for, our extended hunting seasons will provide ample opportunity. Lake Greenwood provides an excellent natural habitat for perch, crappie, bream and catfish. And, if it’s big fish you’re after this is the place to be; each year the lake is stocked with over 280,000 striped bass.
