It’s the cornerstone of who we are as a brand and gives guests an entirely new way to experience Baskin-Robbins.”

Baskin-Robbins worked closely with WD Partners, an Ohio-based customer experience and branding agency, to bring the new “Moments” store design to life. From the initial concept to development, WD played an integral role in ensuring that the next generation store design would deliver on Baskin-Robbins’ vision to give guests an entirely new and innovative experience.

“Many people today live busy, always-on lives which means that a chance to unplug, spend a few minutes with your friend, partner or child, reconnecting over a scoop or two of your favorite ice cream flavor really matters to people,” said Carol Austin, Vice President of Marketing. “That’s why we are so excited about the new ‘Moments’ store design - it’s intended to be an inviting place for guests to come enjoy the best ice cream on Earth and create that pure and simple moment.”
