Dom's Ice House was started in 1929 and continues to be operated by two born and raised Youngstown businessmen, Pete Salpietra and Mark Detesco. Both men believe in this community and that is why they take time to reinvest into the Mahoning Valley whenever an opportunity arises. As Mark has said, "I'm really big on the community and feel that there is no better place to reinvest than right back into the Youngstown community." Founded in the belief that businesses should benefit their communities, Pete and Mark have established a $25,000 scholarship in the name of Dom's Ice House for any local student athlete. In addition to the scholarship, a portion of the sales of every bag of ice goes directly to YSU Athletics.

"The more ice they sell, the more it benefits the university. It's a great win-win." - Joe Cassese, YSU Director of Atheltics Development

In addition to investing in Youngstown State University, Dom's Ice House has donated both money and ice to many local charities and organizations, such as:
