Home City Ice is a company based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Home City Ice delivers fresh ice to over 9 states. Operating a number of plants from its headquarters in Cincinnati, to a branch plant in Pittsburgh, the corporation uses blue ice chests at local stores. Its bagging plant in Pittsburgh is one of the largest in the region with head bagging operator Anthony Antonace overseeing the vast stock of ice shipped out of the plant on a regular basis.
The Home City Ice Company was involved in a "cartel"[1]of large ice companies who conspired to eliminate smaller competition and keep retail prices higher than the market should have dictated. The Home City Ice Company pled guilty to violations of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act in 2007 as a result of these actions. Home City, along with two other large ice companies in the United States, colluded to artificially inflate retail ice prices by agreeing to not compete against one another in the Southeastern region of the state of Michigan. This violation may cost Home City up to $100 million dollars and a term of probation to be determined by the federal government.[2] No active officials within the company will be charged with any criminal charges as the violations were blamed on a now deceased former vice president.
Home City Ice does not allow its employees to unionize nor wear any type of facial hair. Most employees are seasonal.
1890s Home City Ice's origins begin with William Ruskamp, who first located the business on South Side Avenue in Riverside in 1896. By 1900, he moved the company to Mississippi Avenue in Riverside. In that same year, William J. Holthingrichs bought the company from Ruskamp and named it the Riverside Ice Company.
1910s In 1910, Holthingrichs renamed the company The Home City Ice and Coal Company, taking the name of a nearby neighborhood, Home City, OH (which is today Saylor Park). In 1911, Gottlieb Hartweg bought the business and moved it to Ivanhoe Avenue in H ome City, OH the next year. Harweg's son Fred inherited the business upon his father's death in 1924.
