Baskin-Robbins is searching for franchisees to help expand the brand throughout the South Florida market.

The company is planning to open more than 15 new restaurants in the next several years throughout the Fort Myers, West Palm Beach and Miami areas. There are currently 138 Baskin-Robbins locations in Florida.

Baskin-Robbins executives will host a "Becoming a Baskin-Robbins Franchisee" seminar on May 8 from 1-3 p.m. and again from 6-8 p.m. at the Courtyard Fort Myers. They will share information about joining the Baskin-Robbins brand and review opportunities available throughout Collier, Lee, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade Counties.

Registration for the seminar is available online.

"Baskin-Robbins has a proud tradition of providing quality ice cream products for more than six decades, and is renowned for offering irresistible flavors and frozen treats," said Grant Benson, CFE, vice president of franchising and market planning for parent company Dunkin' Brands Inc. "We are the only national chain offering both hard scoop and soft serve ice cream, as well as creative cones, custom ice cream cakes, specialty desserts, frozen beverages and take home treats.
