Who are Ben & Jerry?
Ben & Jerry refer to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, perhaps the ultimate ice cream entrepreneurs. After studying ice cream making in 1977, the two friends, pals since their meeting in a 7th grade gym class, launched their first ice cream shop in Maine in 1978. What began as one ice cream parlor, soon grew to an ice cream making empire, now known officially as Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Holdings, Inc and no longer owned by its founders. People will find Ben & Jerry ice cream in most grocery stores in the US, and in several other countries such as Aruba, the UK, Canada, Belgium, Mexico and France.
