To celebrate and show his commitment to the community, Masud Ahmed hosted a grand re-opening event on February 9, 2013 from noon to 4:00 p.m. and partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Barbara.

A long-time fan of the brand, Masud Ahmed re-opened the ice cream specialty store in Santa Barbara to share the Baskin-Robbins experience and its world-class ice cream, cakes and frozen treats with the community. To thank community members for their support, Masud donated $250 to the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Barbara at the store’s grand re-opening event to help support local youth development in the community.

Baskin-Robbins celebrated the newly re-opened store and non-profit partnership with a special grand opening celebration for the community on February 9 from noon to 4:00 p.m. This festive event featured a ribbon cutting ceremony at 1:00 p.m. and customers enjoyed face painting, balloon twisting, live entertainment, fun giveaways and great deals courtesy of Baskin-Robbins and Masud Ahmed.

“People love the wide variety of flavors available at Baskin-Robbins and show such great support for the brand,” said Masud Ahmed, Baskin-Robbins franchisee. “I look forward to sharing my love of Baskin-Robbins with the community.”

Every month, Baskin-Robbins selects a flavor of the month to feature in all of its stores nationwide. The Flavor of the Month for February is “Bundle of Love” and is available at the new Santa Barbara store by the scoop – in a cup or cone – or as a Baskin-Robbins milkshake.
