Business Spotlight: Durbin Magic Freeze

Durbin Magic Freeze, located at 1286 Wooster Rd. W, has been a Barberton staple since Jack and June Durbin opened its doors back in 1953! Now their son, Dan Durbin, runs the family-owned business with the same hope of keeping the Durbin tradition alive for many more generations.

Serving up delicious soft serve custard, ice cream, milkshakes, ice cream cakes and more, it’s always a must to stop by Durbin’s on a warm summer day!​ Durbin Magic Freeze is also committed to giving back to the community it calls home. At the end of the month they are hosting our next Change for Change event benefiting Barberton Youth Football & Cheer – we hope to see you there!
