Bruster's Ice Cream

Bruster's Ice Cream is an American chain of ice cream parlors whose ice cream and frozen yogurt is made from a milk-based mix at each individual store. Their primary operating region is in most states east of the Mississippi River. The chain is based in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania.[1] All of the ice cream is made fresh in the stores in order to avoid ice crystal formation.

History
A Bruster's in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Bruce Reed got his start with the ice cream business in the 1950s, when, as a child, he helped out his parents at their diner, Jerry's Curb Service, in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania, a small town located 27 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.[2] It was through this experience that Reed would learn from his dad the secrets to the restaurant business.

In 1989, Reed opened an ice-cream shop right next door to Jerry's. Then Reed began operating under the Bruster's name after 15 months in the business

Bruster's also began franchising and has outlets in Alabama, Arizona, Southern California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Guyana, and recently in South Korea as well. Bruster's remains headquartered in Bridgewater.

Some Bruster's locations also operate as franchisees of Nathan's Famous, Nathan's hot dogs and other of their (people mean Nathan's) menu items, in addition to ice cream.[3]
