Randolph, MA (June 25, 2003) -- Baskin-Robbins, the world''s largest chain of specialty ice cream stores, today launched Dunkin'' Donuts Coffee Ice Cream in all of its shops across the Northeast.
Made with real Dunkin'' Donuts coffee beans, the new ice cream flavor tastes just like a regular cup of Dunkin'' Donuts coffee-in ice cream form. It is available in both quarts as well as a single serving cone at the 100 Baskin-Robbins shops that are located within Dunkin'' Donuts shops across the Northeast.
Consumers will have the opportunity to sample the flavor from Baskin-Robbins new ice cream truck, which will be making stops all over the Boston and Providence/Bristol County markets this summer.
Consumers are also invited to stop by the sampling van or their local Baskin-Robbins shop to pick up a coupon good for a free medium (hot or iced) Dunkin'' Donuts coffee with the purchase of two Dunkin'' Donuts Coffee Ice Cream cones.
