From sweet celebrations during good times, to cherished memories with close ones, ice cream has long held a special place in each taster’s heart. Founded in 1945 in Glendale, California, Baskin-Robbins has grown to become one of the world’s largest chain of ice cream specialty shops while keeping true to its neighborhood ice cream parlor values. Baskin-Robbins was co-founded by brothers-in-law and ice cream enthusiasts Irvine “Irv” Robbins and Burton “Burt” Baskin. Robbins worked in his father’s ice cream shops as a teen, while Baskin produced ice cream for his fellow U.S. Navy troops while serving in World War II. Upon Burt’s return from war, the entrepreneurs made their vision of creating a family-friendly ice cream shop a reality.
In its early days, Baskin-Robbins 31® began with a selection of 31 flavors – a different one for each day of the month. Today, Baskin-Robbins’ menu has grown to over a thousand delightful ice cream flavors and an ever expanding assortment of delicious treats – often creating new delicacies to fit local tastes as well! From blended drinks, ice cream, frozen yoghurt, ice cream cakes, sundaes and even to milkshakes, Baskin-Robbins is sure to have something for everyone! Having received halal certification by IFANCA as well, Baskin-Robbins strive to uphold the standards and quality of their offerings at all times. There are many forms of enjoyment in life: there’s spontaneous pleasure, anticipated pleasure, there is long-term happiness and there are spur-of-the-moment joys. For people everywhere, ice cream has probably generated each of those types of pleasure. Sweeten your life with a trip to Baskin-Robbins today!
