Here’s the scoop
Family buys ice cream store
By Randy Malat
Of tit* Emerald
Among the new faces on campus this
month is the cheerful visage of Carol Walker
Carol isn't here to learn to polish her
sentences, or to examine molecules or to forge
art.
Her business here deals with pralines 'n
cream, burgundy cherry and french vanilla
Carol is the new Baskin Robbins "franchisee
She owns and manages the ice cream store
located in the EMU
The Walkers, Carol and her husband Gary,
purchased the business from Bill Gandy
Gandy operated the franchise since its begin
ning in 1976.
"It was available," says Carol, about their
decison to purchase the business “It’s almost
a one-product operation, a nice clean bu
siness You don't have to do a lot of frying and
cleaning up That appealed to us We felt the
need to be doing something It fits the needs of
our family "
The Walkers paid a "franchise fee" to
Baskin Robbins and then Carol and her
daughter Heidi, 15, attended a three-week
training course at the company’s Burbank,
Calif, headquarters to prepare for the bu
siness
Once an elementary school teacher, and
of late a homemaker, Carol Walker is joined in
her enterprise by Heidi, a 10th grade student at
Springfield High, Gary her husband, a faculty
member in the College of Health, P E and
Recreation and her son Derek, almost 12, who
is studying for the county food handler's test
"The new people are gonna do real nice
there," says Gandy, who professed to being "a
little too old to scoop ice cream."
Gandy says that the business did con
sistently well during his stewardship, and
expects that success to continue But times
are not the best for any business, he says.
Within the Baskin Robbins family the
Walker's franchise is unusual. The on-campus
location makes it dependent on university
community patronage, which is seasonal
"Ice cream is a luxury," Gandy says "A lot
of times in a depression it's a reward And
Baskin Robbins is good ice cream, and when
they buy it they want good stuff "

sively
They don't chintz on their ingredients,”
Carol says. “There's real pecans in the butter
pecan and black walnuts in the black walnut.
The stores are very standardized Everybody
scoops a two-and one-half ounce scoop. You
scoop it so it’s compressed Baskin Robbins
has a theory that helps the flavor. It’s not just a
big wad of ice cream on top of the cone “
Gandy, an ice-cream retailer since 1965
when Eugene had five ice-cream stores, says
the 16 now doing business locally are in direct
competition Whether the Baskin Robbins
corporate reputation, which accounts for cus
tomer loyalty and satisfaction comparable to
McDonald's, can continue to insure profits for
franchises like Walker's remains to be seen.
In her new-found role, Carol, who was
raised on an Iowa dairy farm and has lived in
the desert of California, sees a pleasant future
"I like the contact with students,” she
says. "I think it’s a refreshing atmosphere ”
And Heidi, who works after school and in
the evenings, is happy that her family now has
its own Baskin Robbins, even though “after
Burbank, I don’t really like ice cream so much
any more We had enough of it down there ”
In 1945, Irv Robbins opened an ice cream
store in Glendale, California, and offered an
unheard of 21 flavors Bert Baskin, his
brother-in-law, opened store number two in
1946
Seven years later the Carson Roberts
advertising agency advised Baskin and Rob
bins to give customers the possibility of trying a
different flavor each day of the month
