Ben & Jerry’s

Since 1978, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream has been creating euphoria for people from all walks of life.

With a 5 correspondence course in ice cream-makingOpens a new window from Penn State and a 12,000 investment (4,000 of it borrowed), Ben and Jerry opened their first ice cream scoop shop in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont. As Ben had no sense of taste whatsoever, he relied on what he called ‘mouth feel’. As a result, big delicious chunks of chocolate, brownie, fruit and nuts, and swirls of caramel and fudge have become the signature of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

Nearly 4 decades after the original Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop opened, our euphoric brand is known globally for rich, delicious ice cream flavours crammed with chunks and swirls of different flavours. Our brand is fresh, fun and exciting, and is actively involved in activism and local community projects around the world.
