Net Screams for Boutique Ice Cream
Jun 07 2001 01:27 PM PDT

 PROFILE
Not yet ready for a scoop of Multinational Mocha? Don't worry, Ben & Jerry's is still Ben & Jerry's Homemade: a top maker of superpremium ice cream (matching rival Pillsbury's Haagen-Dazs). The quirky company was bought by consumer products giant Unilever in 2000. It sells ice cream, ice-cream novelties, frozen yogurt, and sorbet with names such as Phish Food and Cherry Garcia. It also franchises or owns more than 230 Ben & Jerry's "scoop shops." Ben & Jerry's donates 7.5% of pretax profits to philanthropic causes. Its markets include the US, Canada, Japan, and Europe. Co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield created the company in 1978 in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont.
