At least in
New Jersey, most
Baskin-Robbins franchises are now
paired with
Dunkin' Donuts stores. They have separate counters but share the seating. I'm not sure how this fits in to the above information, but I guess it has something to do with it. Perhaps the local
franchisees here did something.
Another interesting fact: John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America, is an heir of the family who created Baskin-Robbins, but has sworn off all animal products and now speaks out on the vegan lifestyle and against animal cruelty.
