Baskin-Robbins is the world's largest chain of ice cream specialty shops and is based in Canton, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1945 by Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins in Glendale, California.

She bought out the owner of the Baskin-Robbins store on Roswell Road and hasn’t looked back, though there were some rocky roads along the way. Haque moved the location to CityWalk in 2006, hoping she would be a part of Sandy Springs’ downtown renaissance.

Haque fell in love with Baskin-Robbins ice cream in 1985, when she took her first bite of the chain’s Pistachio Almond ice cream. She said that first bite “sold me on the franchise.”. Haque wasn’t thinking about the ice cream business back then.

The franchise model created by Burt and Irv decades ago is still used by Baskin-Robbins today. Baskin-Robbins is nearly 100% franchised, with each owner holding a stake in the business' success, while product development and merchandising are handled at Dunkin' Brands' headquarters in Canton, Massachusetts.

The décor of the Baskin-Robbins store in Sandy Springs looks like a busted piñata. Children spend their birthdays at the two-story shop located at CityWalk.

The Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlors started as separate ventures of Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins, who owned Burton's Ice Cream Shop (opened in 1945) and Snowbird Ice Cream (opened in 1946), respectively. Snowbird Ice Cream offered 21 flavors, a novel concept at that time.

Dunkin’ Brands, the owner of Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins, was founded in 1950 in Quincy, Massachusetts and was primarily focused on donuts. But their foray into coffee (now 60% of sales) has led to significant growth, financial return, and an attack on Starbucks’ position as the coffee king.

Baskin-Robbins was owned by its founders until it was acquired in 1967 (just prior to Burt Baskin's death) by the United Brands Company (United Fruit). In 1972, the company went public for the first time in its history when United Brands sold 17% in an IPO.

Here are 3 reasons why investors should be cautious about investing in Dunkin’ Brands: 1) Baskin Robbins: Let’s face it. We like the 31 flavors but Baskin Robbins has been holding Dunkin’ Donuts back. With average store sales just over $295,000 in 2010, most franchisees can barely stay afloat. Dunkin’ Brands has failed to revive this concept and unfortunately, I think we will continue to see more Baskin Robbins stores close.
