Häagen-Dazs® Shops Inc. Celebrates Grand Opening Of Its Original Ice Cream Shop

Recently remodeled Brooklyn location opened by Häagen-Dazs founder's daughter in 1976.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 8, 2016 // PRNewswire // -- In 1960, Reuben Mattus used the finest ingredients to create his rich, velvety Häagen-Dazs ice cream. Sixteen years later, his daughter, Doris, opened the first Häagen-Dazs Shop at 120 Montague Street in Brooklyn. Forty years later, on July 16, 2016, the brand celebrates the grand reopening of this shop, now franchised by Michael Schuster.

"Celebrating the grand reopening of the original Häagen-Dazs shop here in Brooklyn is another exciting milestone in the history of the brand," said Adam Hanson, Häagen-Dazs Shoppe Company President and General Manager. "Häagen-Dazs was first crafted in the Bronx and has deep roots throughout all five boroughs. This is our home and we're thrilled to share our extraordinary ice cream with the community."

The shop has gone through a complete renovation and features the Häagen-Dazs brand's new, more modern footprint, which incorporates old-world tradition with modern touchpoints that create the ice cream café experience of the future. "This shop is akin to Brooklyn. Brooklyn is full of old-world heritage and has seen its own transformation into a modern and very desirableNew York neighborhood," said Franchise Owner Michael Schuster. "Our team is proud to be part of the Häagen-Dazs family and the Brooklyn community."

"Life in Brooklyn remains as sweet as Jackie Gleason described, as we celebrate the reopening of the original Häagen-Dazs Shop in Brooklyn Heights," said Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams. "During this summer season, visitors to the Montague Street shop will have an opportunity to cool down with delicious treats while celebrating a borough that has never been hotter."
