Irv Robbins
Irv Robbins, the co-founder of Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor chain, passed away on July 29, 2017, at the age of 93. The franchise now boasts more than 5,500 locations in 34 countries. Robbins was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and raised in Tacoma, Washington. He was known for his inventive flavor combinations, such as Daiquiri Ice and Pink Bubblegum.
The company began franchising in the early 1950s. In 1958, the chain had opened six stores, including its first location in Phoenix, Arizona. By the early 1960s, there were more than 100 Baskin-Robbins stores in operation. By 1967, the company had grown to 500 outlets. In 1970, Burton Baskin passed away, but Irv Robbins continued to run the company.
Robbins was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and studied business at the University of Washington. His father, Aaron, was a dairyman, and his mother, Goldie Chmelnitsky, was a Russian immigrant. He later joined a dairy and specialty store in Tacoma. He later enlisted in the Army and cashed in an insurance policy to fund the establishment of his first store.
Today, Baskin Robbins is a multinational ice cream specialty store chain with nearly 7,000 locations worldwide. In the United Kingdom alone, the brand has approximately 100 outlets. The company offers a wide variety of delicious ice creams, beverages, and cakes.
Burt Baskin
Burt Baskin, or “Butch”, was an American businessman who co-founded the Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor chain in 1946 with his brother-in-law Irv Robbins. Both men were passionate about ice cream and wanted to provide consumers with a fun and tasty experience.
As a teenager, Irv worked in his father’s ice cream store. Later, he served in the U.S. Navy and produced ice cream for his fellow troops. At the advice of his father, Irv and Burt went on to open their own business ventures. In 1945, Irv opened Snowbird Ice Cream in Glendale, California, which featured 21 unique flavors. The two men later combined their business interests and opened Burton’s Ice Cream Shop in Pasadena, CA, which eventually became Baskin-Robbins.
Burt Baskin robbins is also known for creating unusual flavors. His triple play flavor, a blend of peanut popcorn and cracker jack, has a distinct crunchy texture that stays crispy even after it’s frozen.
Gorba Chocolate
If you like chocolate, then you’ll love the ice cream flavor Gorba Chocolate, created by Baskin-Robbins in 1990. The company has created over 1,000 flavors in 65 years, including the popular Pralines ‘n Cream. In honor of its 65th anniversary, the company is releasing five new flavors, including the Gorba Chocolate.
In the Soviet Union, ice cream is only available in two flavors, chocolate and vanilla. Baskin-Robbins is expanding its business by introducing its famous Gorba Chocolate flavor, a blend of dark and white chocolate. The company hopes to expand distribution to other cities in the Soviet Union and increase its product line. They also hope to generate hard currency by selling ten percent of their ice cream at Soviet food stores.
Pralines ‘n Cream
Pralines ‘n Cream is one of the most popular ice cream flavors at Baskin-Robbins. In fact, it was created when the company’s founders, Irv and Irma Robbins, were enjoying souvenir pralines at home. They decided to create their own version of the popular treat by mixing the pralines with vanilla ice cream and adding a ribbon of caramel. The result was an ice cream that became a nationwide sensation.
Pralines ‘n Cream is a caramelized ice cream topped with caramel-coated pecan pieces. It also contains sweetened condensed whole milk, corn syrup, sodium citrate, and pectin. Other ingredients are sugar, butter (cream, salt), praline pecans, and caramel ribbon.
Dessert pizzas
The Baskin-Robbins company is bringing back the Polar Pizza this summer. The new creation features a soft-baked crust topped with ice cream and other sweet toppings. You can even customize your own Polar Pizza by choosing any ice cream flavor and topping combination. The new dessert pizzas will be available in ice cream shops around Las Vegas this summer.
Baskin-Robbins is also celebrating National Ice Cream Month this month with a Celebrate 31 promotion, including kids’ sizes and regular scoops for $1.50. You can also find seasonal flavors at the company’s stores. If you’re looking for something different, you can try the new Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Polar Pizza, which is made with a chocolate chip cookie crust, ice cream and pieces of cookie dough. This dessert also features rainbow sprinkles.
The Polar Pizza comes in two flavors, including chocolate and vanilla. The crust is made with chocolate chip cookie dough, and the toppings include icing, sprinkles, and vanilla ice cream. There are also pre-made blueprints that you can use to design your own Polar Pizza. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Polar Pizza, for example, contains a chocolate chip cookie crust and vanilla ice cream, chocolate drizzle, and Oreo chunks. The Oreo Cookies & Cream Polar Pizza, on the other hand, has an ice cream base and a double chocolate chip cookie. The flavors are all customizable as well, so you can get a unique combination of flavors.
31 flavors
In 1945, Baskin-Robbins began advertising its “31 Flavors” line. The ads feature animated characters trying out different flavors. Each flavor is described by a narrator. The Baskin-Robbins “31 Flavors” menu offers something for everyone.
The Baskin Robbins 31 flavor rebrand is similar to the recent rebranding of Burger King and Dunkin Donuts. Both brands use a retro style with nostalgic typography and design. In this new logo, the number 31 is hidden within the design. This makes it easier for people to identify with the brand.
Baskin Robbins has over 2,500 locations worldwide, and more than 6,700 in the United States alone. Many of the locations offer local flavors. Baskin-Robbins ice cream is served all day. There are 31 flavors in total, and they rotate daily. The number 31 also refers to the original number of flavors developed by Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins.
Baskin-Robbins is an international chain of ice cream parlors that has franchises in more than 30 countries. There are 2800 stores in the United States, and the company has more than 6,000 outlets worldwide. The company was founded by two brothers-in-law, Irv Robbins and Burt Baskin. The original Ice Cream Menu had 21 different flavors, and the original Snowbird Ice Cream was praised for being fresh and novel.
Merger with Dunkin’ Donuts
Inspire Brands has agreed to acquire the parent company of both Baskin-Robbins and Dunkin’ Donuts. The new company will also assume all of the debt owed by Dunkin’. The merger is expected to close by the end of 2020.
The deal will create one of the largest bakery chains in the world, with more than three million customers a day. The combined company will operate more than 31,600 restaurants across 60 countries. Inspire Brands employs more than 600,000 company workers and over 3,200 franchisees worldwide.
The merger comes at a volatile time for the restaurant industry. Many businesses have reported lower sales, with rivals like McDonald’s Corp. labeling the breakfast segment as “problematic.” Meanwhile, the coffee-shop industry has struggled with sales declines.
Both companies are known for their high-quality coffee and ice cream. They’re also famous for their inventive ice cream cakes, milkshakes, and sundaes. The merger involves more than 12,500 Dunkin’ Donuts locations and 8,000 Baskin Robbins locations globally.
