Eskimo Pie Chart: Increasing its share of the frozen dessert market, Canadian-based CoolBrands International
just gobbled up Americana Foods to become the third largest ice cream maker in the United States.
The name CoolBrands might not be top of mind with
ice cream lovers, but these cool brands certainly are: Eskimo Pie, Bresler's, Swensen's, Welch's Fruit Juice Bars, Tropicana Fruit Bars, Chipwich, Yoplait Frozen Yogurt Bars, Yogen Fruz, PEZ Pops, Trix Pops, Great American Chilly Pops, YooHoo and more, in a variety of corporate ownerships, distribution businesses, licensing arrangements and other sweet deals.
If you're looking for healthy desserts, or are on an
ice cream diet, they've got Betty Crocker Ice Cream Rolls & Healthy Temptations and Weight Watchers Smart Ones English Toffee Crunch.
CoolBrands is a corporate brand that makes a lot of sense for
CoolBrands International. But, it's too bad about the
domain name situation. At least, it's not the name of
one of those naming and branding outfits, which could make
eye scream.
