Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins opened their first shop in Glendale, California, in 1945. Their strategy combined two existing businesses, Baskin's Ice Cream and Robin Hood Ice Cream, to create a unified brand focused on variety. This merger established the "31 flavors" concept, promising a different taste for every day of the month.
The company now operates roughly 7,800 stores across nearly 50 countries under the ownership of Inspire Brands. While Inspire Brands also manages Dunkin' and Sonic Drive-In, Baskin-Robbins maintains its own distinct identity centered around scoops, sundaes, and seasonal treats. The corporate headquarters sits in Canton, Massachusetts.
