Being a Ben & Jerry’s Franchisee is special to me because it allows me to intersperse myself into my community through special events and charitable contributions. They are a cutting edge company that is always exploring new ideas while maintaining our commitments to social and environmental causes.

We were able to find a business that allowed us to sell the finest product with the finest ingredients. Being a community based business, it has allowed us the opportunity to help support the community around our shops, one scoop at a time.

All the profits that we make from our PartnerShop roll back into the business and support our job training program... It's a very rewarding experience for us.

 Dick Snow - Franchisee, VA and MD

Over the last twenty years, I have created and operated many independent food concepts. Ben & Jerry’s was my first franchise. I have found the benefits of being a Ben & Jerry’s franchisee to be many. In addition to the advantage of selling a great product, I enjoy the experience of working with a creative, dedicated, accessible, hardworking group that will do everything possible to make my business successful.

I like being involved with a company that has such a wonderful public image. When I tell people I own a Ben & Jerry's shop, it really has a positive impact on them. Everyone has a positive comment — it opens doors. Oh, the offers I get for some Ben & Jerry's ice cream...

When you come into our shop, you're not just buying ice cream; you're buying a whole experience — social commitment, goodness, and involvement. We make an impact in our communities. We are different and proud to be so. That's what makes Ben & Jerry's a special experience, a special legacy.
