BASKIN-ROBBINS AT A GLANCE

Baskin-Robbins was founded in 1945 in Glendale, California by Burton Baskin and Irvine Robbins, ice cream enthusiasts and brothers-in-law, whose passion inspired what is now the world’s largest chain of ice cream specialty shops. What was once a selection of 31 flavours — Baskin-Robbins “31®” stands for a different ice cream flavour for each day of the month — has grown to more than 1,200 in its flavour library.

Today, Baskin-Robbins is the world’s largest chain of ice cream specialty stores, serving more than 300 million customers each year worldwide through a network of more than 7,500 shops spread across nearly 50 countries. The brand is still guided by the same credo and innovative thinking as its founders.

Canadian since 1971

The story of Baskin-Robbins in Canada began on July 2, 1971, with the opening of the brand’s first shop on Canadian soil. Today, Baskin-Robbins features a network of 96 locations spread across Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta. Thanks to a growing Canadian presence and its locations around the world, the brand has become a household name and go-to source for Canadians on the looking for the largest variety of selections in soft-serve and frozen treats.
