ARLINGTON, Mass. /PRNewswire/ — Boston-area ice cream lovers are being
advised not to panic — their beloved Brigham’s Ice Cream will be around for the
holidays and long after.
“Recent news about financial difficulties of some of Brigham’s restaurants has
spurred an outpouring of consumer concern over the fate of Brigham’s Ice Cream,”
said Lynne Bohan, spokesperson for HP Hood, the manufacturer of Brigham’s Ice
Cream. “People should know that Brigham’s Ice Cream will continue to be
available in hundreds of supermarkets throughout New England, as well as in
Brigham’s restaurants and ice cream venues.”
Brigham’s Ice Cream has been a Boston favorite since 1914, with Brigham’s
Vanilla consistently ranked as Beantown’s top-selling ice cream. And with the
holidays right around the corner, ice cream lovers will be reaching for
Brigham’s seasonal favorites, Frozen Pudding and Peppermint Stick.
Brigham’s Ice Cream is produced locally by HP Hood. Hood is committed to the
ongoing production of Brigham’s Ice Cream–which will continue to be
manufactured using the same Brigham’s proprietary recipes, under the same high
quality standards that have made this brand a New England classic. In addition
to five seasonal specialty flavors, Brigham’s boasts more than 20 ice cream and
sherbet flavors which can be found in grocery stores and supermarkets throughout
New England.
“Consumers can rest assured that we’re committed to the ongoing production of
Brigham’s Ice Cream to the same exacting standards that they’ve come to love,”
added Bohan.
HP Hood purchased the Brigham’s brand and its packaged ice cream business in
June 2008–in a separate transaction Brigham’s retail outlets and restaurants
were sold to Baltimore-based Deal Metrics LLC. Since that time, Hood has
produced Brigham’s Ice Cream for distribution in both supermarket and grocery
stores, as well as in Brigham’s restaurants.
