CANTON, Mass., May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Baskin-Robbins, the
world's largest chain of ice cream specialty shops, today announced
plans to open a new shop in Marietta in June at 4811 Lower Roswell Road,
Suite 112. This is the second Baskin-Robbins location for existing
franchisee and former brand employee, Chris
Locher, who opened his first shop in Roswell in 2015.
"I'm thrilled to open my second Baskin-Robbins shop in the
Atlanta area, especially after a
great experience with my first Georgia location," said Chris Locher. "Before I opened my first shop in
Roswell, I worked as a director of
operations for Baskin-Robbins and provided support and guidance for
so many franchisees. After five years of working for the brand, I
knew it was time to use my own advice and buy my very own
franchise. Less than one year later, I'm opening my second location
and plan on building a network of Baskin-Robbins shops to pass down
to my children."
To fuel additional growth with new franchisees, Baskin-Robbins
will host two Franchising Open Houses at Baskin-Robbins shops in
the Atlanta area. Anyone who has
ever thought about owning his or her own business should consider
visiting the Open House to meet Baskin-Robbins' Franchising
Manager, Tarji Carter, and learn
about the unique opportunity Baskin-Robbins can offer, especially
with the current financial incentives available.* In addition,
potential candidates will get a chance to see how a shop operates
in real-time, meet the franchisee and, of course, try the brand's
range of ice cream products.

said Hugh Williams, Baskin-Robbins franchisee at the

restaurant and learn more about how to become a part of this
