Haagen-Dazs was founded in 1961 by Rueben and Rose Mattus in the Bronx, New York. The pair wanted a name that sounded Danish, to honor the country that did so much for the Jewish people during the Holocaust. The company operates a chain of ice cream shops, as well as ice cream products that are sold around the world.
The company is famous for its super-premium ice cream that does not use stabilizers, such as guar gum or carrageenan. The company initially had only 3 flavors (vanilla, chocolate, and coffee), but today has more than 90 flavors, although some of them are sold only in certain countries. Haagen-Dazs is a subsidiary of Nestle Brands.
Haagen-Dazs is one of the top-selling ice cream brands in the world, with more than 900 locations in 50 countries, and being sold in virtually every supermarket or corner store across the globe. The company also offers individual ice cream treats such as sundae cones, single-serve cups, and chocolate-coated ice cream bars.
In January 2023, Haagen-Dazs opened its first location in the state of Alaska.
Haagen-Dazs maintains a corporate office in the USA in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
