Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams was founded by Jeni Britton Bauer in Columbus, Ohio in 2002, built around a distinctive base recipe using a small amount of cornstarch rather than eggs, giving the ice cream an unusually smooth, dense texture that became the brand's signature technical innovation. The company built a devoted following around inventive, often locally sourced flavor combinations, and its expansion from a single Columbus scoop shop into a nationally distributed grocery-store brand reflected a broader 2010s trend of artisanal, chef-driven food brands successfully scaling beyond their original single-city origins. Jeni's voluntarily recalled all of its products nationwide in 2015 after a listeria contamination was discovered, a costly and dramatic response that the company's founder framed as a demonstration of its food-safety commitment, and the brand successfully rebuilt its reputation and distribution in the years afterward. Jeni's combination of its distinctive eggless ice cream base and its successful growth from an independent Columbus shop into a national brand has made it one of the most respected artisanal ice cream brands in the country.
VS
Baskin-Robbins
Baskin-Robbins was founded in 1945 by brothers-in-law Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins in Glendale, California, built around a then-radical premise: instead of offering just one or two ice cream flavors like most competitors, the company would rotate through dozens, eventually branding itself around "31 flavors," one for every day of the month. The chain's flavor rotation strategy and its willingness to introduce new limited-time flavors regularly gave it a reputation for variety and novelty that distinguished it sharply from more flavor-limited competitors throughout the mid-20th century. Baskin-Robbins became one of the largest ice cream chain franchises in the world, and its later corporate combination with Dunkin' Donuts under a shared parent company created a distinctive dual-branded retail format combining coffee-and-donuts with ice cream under one roof in many locations. Baskin-Robbins's combination of its pioneering flavor-variety business model and its massive franchise scale has made it one of the most commercially significant ice cream chains in the country.
