Reddy Ice has its roots with the Southland Ice Company, which is the parent company of 7-Eleven. Reddy Ice grew out of the Southland ice brand which was founded in 1927. There were just eight ice plants at the time and a small number of convenience stores which were called retail box at the time. The demand for ice went up considerably after World War II began in 1941. Southland acquired several different companies to expand its ice brand and begin marketing to allow ice deliveries to retail stores. Reddy ice makes a variety of ice products including cubed ice, block ice, dry ice, snow, and more. The bags vary in size from just five pounds all the way up to 50 pounds and blocks of ice can be bought in sizes as small as 10 pounds or as large as 300 pounds.
