Throughout the month of July, Baskin-Robbins guests can upgrade their double scoop of ice cream with a free freshly-baked waffle cone. Additionally, Baskin-Robbins is continuing to celebrate its 70th birthday with its “Celebrate 31” promotion on Friday, July 31st.

Baskin-Robbins is also featuring OREO® ‘n Cake as its July Flavor of the Month.

The Flavor of the Month can also be enjoyed in a milkshake and a layered sundae.
Additional OREO® cookie-themed frozen treats available at participating Baskin-Robbins shops this month include:
-
New OREO® Cream Delight Cookie Cake: This elegant creation features a cream palette with a textured, combed side, complemented by a white dipping chocolate drizzled edge, OREO® cookies on top and a fudge border. This cake serves 12-16 people.

“We always look forward to celebrating National Ice Cream Month with our guests, and it’s especially sweet this year during Baskin-Robbins’ 70th birthday celebration,” said Carol Austin, Vice President, Marketing, Baskin-Robbins. “We’re excited to offer guests so many different ways to celebrate all-month long, from sweet deals like our waffle cone offer and ‘Celebrate 31’ promotion to our ‘Community Cones’ fundraiser for The Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation to further support the communities we serve.”
In order to further support the neighborhoods it serves, Baskin-Robbins is inviting guests to donate $1.00 to The Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation (DDBRCF) throughout National Ice Cream Month as part of its Community Cones program. Proceeds from the fundraiser will be granted to local and national non-profit organizations that support efforts to improve children’s health, provide food for the hungry and enhance neighborhood safety. Guests who make an in-store donation at participating locations will be given a paper icon in the shape of a cone to personalize and showcase on the walls of their neighborhood Baskin-Robbins shop.
