ONE of the nation’s most iconic ice cream chains has announced it will release a new flavor next month.
Baskin-Robbins will debut its new Coffee Shop Cold Brew nationwide on Friday, September 1.
It will be available through the end of September, according to the company’s website.
“Coffee Shop Cold Brew is the perfect pick-me-up – morning, noon, night, after school, after work, literally whenever!” the release says.
“The strong cold brew flavor is balanced perfectly by the sweet cream foam flavored ice cream, with pops of cinnamon throughout from the cinnamon sweet cream swirls.”
The new flavor is in part to help parents and students make the transition from a relaxing summer to the first day of school.
It will replace Baskin-Robbin’s flavor of the month for August, which is called “Game Night.”
That variety is a salted caramel ice cream with M&M’s candies, buttered popcorn clusters, and a caramel pretzel-flavored swirl.
This wasn’t the only item Baskin-Robbins introduced last month.
The chain also debuted the Confetti Crazy Cake, which includes the customer’s choice of ice cream flavor, decadent frosting, and dark dipping chocolate topped with rainbow sprinkles.
Patrons can also add the confetti cake layer to any custom cake ordered online or in-store.
Baskin-Robbins stores always have different 31 flavors, one for each day of the month.
The company, which has developed 1,500 flavors to date, got its start in 1945.
The first store located in Glendale, California – a few miles north of Downtown Los Angeles – was initially called Burton‘s Ice Cream Shop, Parade reported.
Founders Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins changed the name a few years later.
The chain now has more than 2,400 locations nationwide.
O’Charley’s Restaurant + Bar, a popular casual dining chain, is also debuting a new promotion.
Starting Thursday, customers can get a plate of chicken tenders and french fries for just $7.
