New Baskin-Robbins in Hoover on Highway 31. (Pat Byington/Bham Now).
Baskin-Robbins-- the largest (variety of areas) ice cream specialty chain in the U.S.-- is opening its 3rd stand-alone Alabama place in Hoover.
For ice cream fans, history was made in 1945, when Baskin-Robbins was established. At the time most ice cream parlors typically provided three tastes – – strawberry, vanilla and chocolate.
That changed forever when Baskin- Robbins offered 31 tastes to its loyal customers-- one for each day of the month. The principle took off – – and quickly there were stores opening across the country and worldwide.
New Location on Highway 31 (Nice Coincidence!)
The brand-new Baskin Robbins in the
Birmingham area is set to open on Sunday, September 3rd at 1539
