Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Burton Baskin and Irv Robbins went into which type of business?"
Baskin-Robbins was founded in 1945 by brothers-in-law Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins from merging their respective ice cream parlors. Baskin-Robins claims to be the world's largest chain of ice cream shops, with 7,500 locations around the world. The Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlors started as separate ventures of Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins, who owned Burton's Ice Cream Shop and Snowbird Ice Cream respectively. When the companies merged, they named their new venture Baskin-Robins. 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.
