๐ชRegional ยท 23 states
Bruster's Real Ice Cream was founded on July 13, 1989, by Bruce Reed in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, building on a family tradition of ice cream service that stretched back to his father's 1947 diner. The chain began franchising in 1993, was named one of Entrepreneur magazine's top 500 franchise chains in 2000, and has grown to over 200 locations across the United States and internationally. Each Bruster's location makes its ice cream fresh on-site daily from a milk-based mix to prevent ice crystal formation, offering a distinctly fresh product.
