Ron's Gourmet Ice Cream

Ron Covitz is the patriarch of Ron’s Gourmet Ice Cream. The business was started as the Twentieth Century Bowling Alleys by Ron’s father, Julius. A family recreational facility, it housed 10 lanes of candlepin bowling and an 18-table pool hall. Light snacks that included chips, soda, coffee and soft serve ice cream were available. The 10 lanes of candlepin bowling remain today, but much of the business has morphed over time. Twentieth Century Bowling Alleys are now known simply as Ron’s and for its award-winning homemade gourmet ice cream.
Ron is a graduate of Brookline High School and Boston University. After serving in the National Guard in the late 1960’s Ron returned home and with the encouragement and blessing of his father, he joined the family business.
