Looking for an opportunity to own a business that spreads joy by the scoop, serves euphoric dessert cone-coctions, creates unforgettable moments with some of the world's most loved ice cream flavours, and believes in having fun, giving back, and making a real difference in the community?

We’re looking for new Ben & Jerry’s franchisees, and we’d love to talk “scoop shop” with you.

Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops are designed to deliver the ultimate, immersive Ben & Jerry’s experience to fans and first-timers alike. They’re whimsical, welcoming places where families and friends can enjoy their favourite treats and fans can deepen their connections with our brand.

All of our ice cream is made with the best possible ingredients – non GMO, fair trade, Free Range eggs, no artificial colours, flavours or emulsifiers alongside real dairy cream and milk from our free grazing cows, generous chunks, swirls and a high butter-fat content for that creamy, indulgent taste. Ben & Jerry’s is synonymous with fun, with quality, with big chunks and saucy swirls, with ‘out there’ flavours and euphoric creations.

Every flavour is unique, created with our special recipe for making the best ice cream possible, in the nicest possible way, ensuring we’re always using the business to do good!

Ben & Jerry’s operates on a three-part mission that aims to create linked prosperity for everyone that’s connected to our business: suppliers, employees, farmers, franchisees, customers, and neighbours alike.

Our Franchise

Our franchises are easy to operate, you don’t need to be an ice cream expert (although you’ll definitely become one!). We have developed a franchise programme and package that will fully immerse you in our world of Peace, Love and Ice cream, from the very start of the journey. The strength, success and growth of your business is a key factor in our own growth, we succeed only when you succeed.

The business models:

  • Brick & Mortar Stores
  • Kiosk & Mobile

Ben and Jerry’s stores can be found in locations with high foot traffic and where consumers spend discretionary income, such as city centres, entertainment centres, tourist locations, airports, universities and amusement parks.
