New Baskin-Robbins Coming to Marietta

Baskin-Robbins, the world's largest chain of ice cream specialty shops, has announced plans to open a new shop in Marietta in June at 4811 Lower Roswell Road, Suite 112.

This is the second Baskin-Robbins location for existing franchisee and former brand employee, Chris Locher, who opened his first shop in Roswell in 2015.

"I'm thrilled to open my second Baskin-Robbins shop in the Atlanta area, especially after a great experience with my first Georgia location," said Chris Locher. "Before I opened my first shop in Roswell, I worked as a director of operations for Baskin-Robbins and provided support and guidance for so many franchisees. After five years of working for the brand, I knew it was time to use my own advice and buy my very own franchise. Less than one year later, I'm opening my second location and plan on building a network of Baskin-Robbins shops to pass down to my children."

Baskin-Robbins is also hosting two franchising open houses at Baskin-Robbins shops in the Atlanta area.

"Baskin-Robbins has more than seven decades of experience refining its business system to offer a fun, rewarding new business opportunity to new franchise candidates," said Grant Benson, CFE, vice president of global franchising and business development, Dunkin' Brands. "As we continue to foster and grow our relationship with Georgia ice cream lovers, we're looking for motivated entrepreneurs who have a passion for their local communities to join our team and take advantage of our development opportunities."
