Brigham’s Ice Cream Corporate Office

Brigham's Ice Cream

Brigham’s Ice Cream was founded in 1914 by Edward Brigham in Massachusetts. At one time, the original ice cream parlor, located in Newton Highlands, was so popular that it became overrun with customers on the weekends. The police were often called to help control the crowds that were fighting to get inside.

History

The company has continued to grow and expand over the years. In 1993, Brigham’s Ice Cream purchased Elans Frozen Yogurt, which added to its already appealing menu. At its peak, the company had 100 locations. Brigham’s Ice Cream was purchased by HP Hood LLC. Approximately 21 locations were sold to New England Food Service, LLC. HP Hood owns the rights to the name and ice cream recipes. HP Hood now sells Brigham’s Ice Cream via supermarkets and specialty stores.

In 2014, the company celebrated its 100th year anniversary.

Brigham’s Ice Cream maintains a corporate office in Arlington, Massachusetts.

Four Seas Ice Cream is one of the three oldest ice cream shops in operation in New England. The company has numerous awards to its credit and is listed as #7 on the list of The Top 10 Ice Cream Shops in America.

When most ice cream locations close in the winter months, Four Seas remains open part time and offers ice cream cakes and pints to go.

Great American Cookies Corporate Office

Great American Cookies

Great American Cookies was founded in 1977 by Michael Coles and Arthur Karp. Each partner invested $4,000 to open a store inside the Atlanta Premier mall. The basic recipe for the cookies was one that was used by Karp’s grandmother.

History

The original Atlanta store is still in operation today. While it was originally believed that the company would not do well outside of mall locations, the company now has 290 locations across the U.S., not all of them located in shopping malls. The company has been sold several times, most recently in 2010 to Global Franchise Group.

In October 2020, co-founder Michael Cole published a book about leadership.

Great American Cookies makes and sells gourmet cookies such as chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia nut, and peanut butter cookies with M&M’s. The company also sells fudge brownies and cake cookies for special occasions.
