Record-Breaking April: Mackie’s Scoops Its Best-Ever Month of Ice Cream Sales 6 May 2025 April sunshine brought more than just blue skies – it delivered a new milestone for Mackie’s of Scotland. April 2025 was our biggest month of ice cream sales ever, with over 1.56 million litres of Mackie’s ice cream enjoyed across the UK. The unseasonably warm weather played its part, with average temperatures rising 5°C above those of April last year. Here in Scotland, we enjoyed average highs of 19°C – perfect conditions for a scoop or two of something sweet. Our previous monthly record, set during the UK’s hottest June in 2023, has now been surpassed – a clear sign that nothing pairs with sunshine quite like Mackie’s. It wasn’t just the weather that helped us scoop this success. Our growing presence in supermarkets made a big difference too with our Raspberry Ripple making its debut in 255 Sainsbury’s Local stores last month. This means it’s the most widely available Raspberry Ripple in their the Sainsbury’s range. Our Head of Sales, Will Dixon, said: “The weather last spring and summer was wet and windy, and this April’s sunshine has given the UK a taste of brighter days to come, which they were clearly more than ready to enjoy with a bowl of ice cream! “April’s record sales have been given a boost by the brilliant weather, but ultimately the numbers are testament to our ice cream being chosen again and again by our loyal customers for its quality.” Thanks to your continued support, Mackie’s has held its title as Scotland’s best-selling premium ice cream and is now the fourth most popular premium brand across the UK. In fact, around 25% of Scottish households and 8% of UK households are choosing Mackie’s – more than ever before. At our farm in Westertown, near Inverurie, every tub of Mackie’s ice cream is made with fresh milk and cream from our own herd. Sustainability remains at the heart of everything we do, with four wind turbines, a 10-acre solar farm and a low-carbon refrigeration system helping us produce twice the energy we use. Thank you to all our customers who continue to make Mackie’s their go-to ice cream. Here’s to a summer of sunshine and scoops!
