Where did the first Baskin Robbins ice cream shop open in 1948?

Baskin-Robbins is an American multinational chain of ice cream speciality shops. Baskin-Robbins was founded in 1945 by Burt Baskin (1913–1967) and Irv Robbins (1917–2008) in Glendale, California. It is the world's largest chain of ice cream speciality stores, with more than 8,000 locations, 2,500 shops in the United States and over 5,000 in 50 other countries.

The company is known for its "31 flavors" slogan, with the idea that a customer could have a different flavor every day of any month, believing that people should be able to sample flavors for free until they found one they wanted to buy.

Burt Baskin learned about ice cream while he was in the military during World War II. He somehow obtained some equipment and started making ice cream for other soldiers. After the war he opened up Burton's Ice Cream Shop in California in 1946.

Irv Robbins had been in the ice cream business his entire life. As a teenager he managed an ice cream counter in his father's store. He too entered the military during World War II. Upon his return he opened Snowbird Ice Cream in California in 1945.

During Baskin's time in the military, he married Robbin's sister, Shirley.

They combined their companies into one and call it Baskin-Robbins. Snowbird Ice Cream offered 21 flavors. After merging, the number of flavors was expanded to 31.

The first franchise covering the sale of ice cream was executed May 20, 1948, for the store at 1130 South Adams in Glendale (Store #1).
