Hours and Locations

Even though Ben & Jerry are known for their manufactured ice cream they also have parlors  that open at 11:30am and close at 9:00pm Sunday through Thursday. Saturday and Sunday hours are typically extended and  usually run from 11:30am to 10:00pm. Even though most of the retail chains operate by the same hours it is always best to research the closest location to you before leaving. It’s also a good idea to keep in mind regular operating hours may change during  holidays like New Year's day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Good Friday and Black Friday.

A Brief History

Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield founded Ben & Jerry’s in 1978. The first location was in Burlington, Vermont and the first distribution center was down the street in an old spool and bobbin mill. The company quickly garnered customers’ attention with their creative marketing campaigns like free cone day and their World Record setting “largest ice cream sundae” at 27,102 pounds. One of their most memorable marketing campaigns came in the form of the “Cowmobile”. The modified mobile home was used to hand out free scoops of ice cream by Ben and Jerry themselves. The ice cream distributor remained under the founders control until 2000 when it was sold to Unilever.
