Louis and Regina Graeter started making vanilla ice cream in a metal bucket on the streets of Cincinnati after the Civil War.

Today, four generations later, Graeter's is churning out 1.3 million gallons of ice cream a year; selling pints in 6,000 grocery stores nationwide and 55 scoops shops across nine states. 

If Graeter's isn't So Cincinnati, then what is? In a rare interview, Graeter's President and CEO Rich Graeter joined That's So Cincinnati to talk about:

His generation's contribution to the family business

The "legacy of stubbornness"

The company's surging growth the past three years

What state might be the next to get a Graeter's scoop shop

Grooming the next generation to take over
