Baskin-Robbins is opening stores in Vietnam
It won’t be long before folks can enjoy Baskin-Robbins ice cream in Ho Chi Minh City, and the chain added that patrons in Vietnam will not only be able to order such company standbys as Mint Chocolate Chip and Jamoca Almond Fudge, but also such Southeast Asian flavors as Green Tea and Mango Mania.
Baskin-Robbins, a sister chain of Dunkin’ Donuts, announced today that it has signed a master franchise agreement with Blue Star Food Corp., a Vietnamese food manufacturing company. The agreement calls for about 50 Baskin-Robbins restaurants to be opened in Vietnam over the next several years. The first three stores under the agreement open this week in Ho Chi Minh City.
With the opening in Vietnam, Baskin-Robbins said it now has more than 6,600 locations in nearly 50 countries, including about 2,000 in the Asia-Pacific region.
Both Baskin-Robbins and Dunkin’ Donuts are operated by Dunkin’ Brands Group Inc. of Canton.
