HISTORY

MMMMM

Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins began making ice cream in 1945. Their mission was to create delicious ice cream concoctions with loads of ingredients and fanciful names. Since then, over 1,000 different ice cream flavors have been created and enjoyed by ice cream lovers everywhere. From the initial concept of 31 flavors - one for every day of the month - Baskin-Robbins has become the largest chain of ice cream stores in the world.

Their list of permanent flavors includes: Cherries Jubilee, Chocolate, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Fudge, French Vanilla, Gold Medal Ribbon®, Jamoca® (coffee), Jamoca® Almond Fudge, Mint Chocolate Chip, Nutty Coconut, Old Fashioned Butter Pecan, Oreo® Cookies 'n Cream, Peanut Butter 'n Chocolate, Pistachio Almond, Pralines 'n Cream, Rocky Road, Truffle in Paradise™, Vanilla, Very Berry Strawberry, World Class® Chocolate. The flavor list varies by region and by season. Each store you visit will carry a different selection of flavors.
