Baskin-Robbins, the world’s largest chain of ice cream specialty shops, announced that it is seeking Los Angeles entrepreneurs to develop new and existing ice cream shops in Southern California. Specifically, Baskin-Robbins is seeking candidates who are looking for a sweet opportunity in Glendora, Long Beach, Oceanside, and Pico Rivera, as well as San Diego.

“We’re looking for motivated entrepreneurs who have a passion for their local communities to join our team and take advantage of the many perks that Baskin-Robbins offers,” says Grant Benson, CFE and vice president of global franchising and business development at Dunkin’ Brands. “This is a great opportunity for anyone who has ever thought about owning his or her own ice cream shop. Baskin-Robbins continues to increase its presence around the world, and we’re excited to continue to foster and grow our relationship with Southern California ice cream lovers.”

 In addition to the Los Angeles shops for sale, Baskin-Robbins will begin developing one to two other nontraditional shops in the San Diego market, which eligible candidates can purchase. These sites present unique opportunities to own and operate locations that are delivered as ready-to-operate shops. Traditional development opportunities are also available in both the Los Angeles and San Diego markets.

Baskin-Robbins combines delicious treats with a simple operating model. Franchisees enjoy convenient hours of operation, minimal equipment, and little product waste. They also benefit from award-winning training programs and comprehensive operating systems designed to help build business.

In 1945, Baskin-Robbins was founded in Glendale, California, by two ice cream enthusiasts who shared a dream to create an innovative ice cream shop that would be a neighborhood gathering place for families. Today, more than 300 million people visit Baskin-Robbins each year to sample from the more than 1,200 flavor creations available in its ice cream library. Baskin-Robbins offers guests its wide range of hard-scoop ice cream flavors, along with custom ice cream cakes, delicious frozen beverages, premium soft serve, and take-home frozen treats.
