Baskin-Robbins opens Cincinnati for franchise sales

More than 30 new stores are projected over the next several years throughout Cincinnati and the surrounding counties of Hamilton, Boone, Kenton and Campbell, among others. Currently, Baskin-Robbins operates 34 stores across Ohio. The company plans to open 200 locations statewide in small and large markets over the next several years, and has recently signed a development agreement in Kettering for an additional store. Baskin-Robbins will open more than 400 stores globally in 2008. James Franks, national director of franchising at Baskin-Robbins, said: "As the Baskin-Robbins brand continues to develop in Ohio, we're now looking for franchisees in Cincinnati with strong financial backgrounds to manage multiple stores and a passion for their local communities."
