Boston's Favorite Ice Cream since 1914 has a bright future thanks to devoted consumers and local manufacturer.

LYNNFIELD, Mass., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston-area ice cream lovers are being advised not to panic -- their beloved Brigham's Ice Cream will be around for the holidays and long after.

"Recent news about financial difficulties of some of Brigham's restaurants has spurred an outpouring of consumer concern over the fate of Brigham's Ice Cream," said Lynne Bohan, spokesperson for HP Hood, the manufacturer of Brigham's Ice Cream. "People should know that Brigham's Ice Cream will continue to be available in hundreds of supermarkets throughout New England, as well as in Brigham's restaurants and ice cream venues."

Brigham's Ice Cream has been a Boston favorite since 1914, with Brigham's Vanilla consistently ranked as Beantown's top-selling ice cream. And with the holidays right around the corner, ice cream lovers will be reaching for Brigham's seasonal favorites, Frozen Pudding and Peppermint Stick.

Brigham's Ice Cream is produced locally by HP Hood. Hood is committed to the ongoing production of Brigham's Ice Cream--which will continue to be manufactured using the same Brigham's proprietary recipes, under the same high quality standards that have made this brand a New England classic. In addition to five seasonal specialty flavors, Brigham's boasts more than 20 ice cream and sherbet flavors which can be found in grocery stores and supermarkets throughout New England.

"Consumers can rest assured that we're committed to the ongoing production of Brigham's Ice Cream to the same exacting standards that they've come to love," added Bohan.

HP Hood purchased the Brigham's brand and its packaged ice cream business in June 2008--in a separate transaction Brigham's retail outlets and restaurants were sold to Baltimore-based Deal Metrics LLC. Since that time, Hood has produced Brigham's Ice Cream for distribution in both supermarket and grocery stores, as well as in Brigham's restaurants.
