According to an article from the Daily Herald, Ben & Jerry’s will soon expand with a new location in Schaumburg’s Woodfield Mall.
“…Ben & Jerry’s and Gregorys Coffee are expected to arrive by the middle of next month.” The franchisees behind the location are Thomas and Christina O’Toole, who are also behind the Naperville location.
According to Ben & Jerry’s website, “From a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, to far-off places with names we sometimes mispronounce, the journey that began in 1978 with 2 guys and the ice cream business they built is as legendary as the ice cream is euphoric.”
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream has a 13-step process. “It all starts, of course, with the cow. Not just one, but tens of thousands of them – from the hundreds of local farms that sell their raw milk to the St. Albans Cooperative Creamery in St. Albans, Vermont. At the Co-op, the milk is separated into heavy cream and condensed skim milk, then shipped by tanker truck to our St. Albans and Waterbury Vermont factories.”
“Ben & Jerry’s strives to be a social justice company that makes ice cream. Across our three-part mission, we are always working to strengthen a concept we call “linked prosperity.” Using our ingredients and the power of our purchasing decisions to support positive change not only makes sense — it makes our flavors taste sensational!”
