I cannot think of a better way to start this new festival year and blog with respects to one of the pioneers in our field. Monday, Irvine Robbins, one of the founders of Baskin-Robbins past away. This the home of 31 flavors folks. How many times have you been? I bow down. Rest in peace Mr. Robbins.
Today, Baskin-Robbins is part of Dunkin' Brands Inc. and has more than 5,800 franchises worldwide. They also actually created over 1,000 flavors throughout the years.
