Bruster's Ice Cream, Inc., also known as Bruster's Real Ice Cream or Bruster's, is an American chain of ice cream parlors based in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania.[3] Their primary operating region is in most states east of the Mississippi River. The company's main products are ice cream and frozen yogurt, made on location with a milk-based mix at each individual store and is made fresh in the stores in order to avoid ice crystal formation.
History
Bruce Reed got his start with the ice cream business in the 1950s, when, as a child, he helped out his parents at their diner, Jerry's Curb Service, in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania, a small town located 27 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.[4] It was through this experience that Reed would learn from his dad the secrets to the restaurant business.[citation needed]
In 1989, Reed opened an ice-cream shop right next door to Jerry's. Then Reed began operating under the Bruster's name after 15 months in the business.
Bruster's also began franchising and has outlets in Alabama, Arizona, Southern California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Guyana, and recently in South Korea as well. Bruster's remains headquartered in Bridgewater.
Co-branding
Some Bruster's locations also operate as franchisees of Nathan's Famous, with Nathan's hot dogs and other menu items sold in addition to ice cream.[5]
Products
The recipe book that Bruster's uses consists of over 170 recipes with many seasonal favorites.[citation needed] Bruster's also makes a variety of handmade ice cream cakes as well as homemade waffle cones. Milkshakes, sundaes, and banana splits are also made to order at the ice cream shop. Bruster's has recently introduced a limited range of non-dairy ice cream flavors made with coconut milk.
