Ben and Jerry’s: A History
Ben and Jerry’s Homemade Holdings Inc., commonly known as Ben and Jerry’s, is an American ice cream company founded in 1979 in Burlington, Vermont. The company is known for its unique flavors and its commitment to social and environmental causes.
Early Years
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield met in high school on Long Island, New York. After college, they both worked in the food industry, and in 1978, they decided to open their own ice cream shop. With a $5 correspondence course in ice cream-making from Penn State and a $12,000 investment ($4,000 of it borrowed), they opened their first scoop shop in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont.
The shop was an instant success, and Ben and Jerry’s quickly became a local favorite. In 1980, they began to distribute their ice cream to grocery stores in the area, and by the early 1990s, their products were available nationwide.
Social and Environmental Activism
From the beginning, Ben and Jerry’s has been committed to social and environmental causes. The company has donated millions of dollars to charities, and it has been a vocal advocate for fair trade, sustainable agriculture, and environmental protection.
In 1985, Ben and Jerry’s founded the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation, which supports grassroots organizations working on social and environmental justice issues. The company has also been a pioneer in the use of sustainable packaging and fair trade ingredients.
A Global Brand
Today, Ben and Jerry’s is one of the most popular ice cream brands in the world. The company has over 1,000 franchised scoop shops in 35 countries, and its products are sold in supermarkets and convenience stores around the globe.
Despite its success, Ben and Jerry’s has remained true to its roots. The company is still based in Burlington, Vermont, and it is still committed to its social and environmental mission.
