A chain of ice cream parlors. They spotlight 31 different flavors every month, including Jamocha Almond Fudge, Pralines and Cream, Peanut Butter and Chocolate, and many others. They also make ice cream cakes and sell ice cream clowns. They used to have real style, with a predominantly pink decor, funky desks to sit at, and black and white landscape photography wallpaper. They don't have much decor anymore. They don't seem very popular either. Too bad.
Update: In 2000, B-R closed all of their small- and medium-market stores. That means that Baskin-Robbins ice cream is no longer available outside of large cities. Is it really any loss? In recent years, you could buy a gallon of ice cream at the grocery store for what they'd charge for a scoop of ice cream for everyone in your family. That's just too damn greedy. Hell, after the former B-R franchise stores in Texas got together and formed their own franchise called KaleidoScoops, Baskin-Robbins made noises about suing them. Apparently, they wanted everyone who used to sell their ice cream to go out of business. Good riddance to Baskin-Robbins, sez I.
