Ralph Sr, and Margaret Lies, opened City’s Pure Ice in April of 1967. Formerly known as Clendenin Ice and Coal of La Porte, Indiana, the name was changed to City’s Pure Ice after the Lies purchased the business. Ralph moved the business to the present location in 1974.
In 1992 the business was sold to Ralph Jr. (Bud) and Linda Lies. City’s Pure Ice continues it’s ice manufacturing facility and wholesale distribution operation in it’s La Porte location.
A majority of the ice business is conducted in the summer months, but City’s Pure Ice has become well-known for it’s ice block sculpture business during the winter months.
