Throughout its 60 years, Baskin-Robbins has not only become an innovative and high quality ice cream treat destination, but a place for families to gather for holidays and everyday celebrations. The story began wtih two brothers-in-law, Burtan "Burt" Baskin and Irvine "Irv" Robbins' mutual love of good, old-fashioned ice cream and a desire to give customers a heaping scoop of flavor and fun.
Burt and Irv strongly believed people should have choice, so they
offered 31 flavors - one for every day of the month. And they believed
people should be able to try any flavor without cost - a belief that
led to the iconic pink spoons. Their ideals live on at Baskin-Robbins,
where we now possess a flavor library that consists of more than 1,000
ice cream recipes
In addition to developing flavors, Baskin-Robbins has always been a
leader in the ice cream industry with innovations such as hand-packed
quarts of ice cream, a unique flavor ribbon technique, the use of
traditional dessert ingredients such as apple pie and cheesecake, and
the introduction of mousse-textured ice creams. The commitment of
Baskin-Robbins to creating new products is evident with the
introduction of signature ice cream cake and the growing line of beverages, including Bold Breezes™, and the Cappuccino Blast® frozen-blended coffee drinks, which innovated the frozen coffee category in 1994.
