Dairy Witch Ice Cream

Dairy Witch Ice Cream is on 115 Boston Street in Salem.

In the early 50's, Beatrice and Peter Polemenako rented the land next to their house, allowing a local family to open an ice cream shop there.

Though successful, the family running it had to give up after a year. Beatrice and Peter took over operations in 1952,

dubbing it the Dairy Witch. Friendly and hardworking, they were quickly able to turn it into a thriving business.

Bea and Pete's daughter, Marietta, has been working there since she was a kid, and when Beatrice was no longer able to run it, passed it down to her.

Marietta has kept up the standard of warmhearted service to her customers, and exemplary treatment of her staff Our former employees often look fondly upon their time here.

Some make occasional "guest appearances" after they've moved on, filling in when their help is needed.
