Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream - Franchise
Want to grow a thriving business that makes people smile and is loved by your community? Discover why operating a Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop is “Joy for the Belly and Soul!”
From a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, to far-off places with names we sometimes mispronounce, the journey that began in 1978 with two guys – Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield – and the ice cream business they built is as legendary as the ice cream is euphoric. Today, Ben & Jerry's products are distributed nationwide and in select foreign countries in supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, franchised Ben & Jerry's scoop shops, restaurants and other venues. Ben & Jerry’s operates on a three-part mission emphasizing product quality, economic reward and a commitment to the community. This mission aims to create linked prosperity for everyone that’s connected to our business: suppliers, employees, farmers, franchisees, customers and neighbors alike.
Our scoop shops are designed to deliver the ultimate, immersive Ben & Jerry’s experience. They're whimsical, welcoming places where families and friends can enjoy their favorite treats and fans can deepen their connections with our brand. Brightly colored, well-lit and clean, a scoop shop is always inviting and promises that what’s inside is not only delicious, but of the highest quality.
Imagine owning a business that puts smiles on people’s faces, that’s backed by one of the world’s most recognized and loved brands, and that values the importance of having fun, giving back and getting involved in the community.
Our franchisees build meaningful relationships within their own communities, making a difference locally through product donations, charity fundraisers, individual scoop shop initiatives and company-sponsored events.
