Former Corporate Executive Living Sweet Life As Bruster’s Real Ice Cream Franchisee
Dan Tarkoff was looking for a new chapter after retiring from a successful corporate career in sales and marketing. After an exhaustive search for the right business, he signed a five-unit franchise development agreement with Bruster’s. He says he was attracted to the quality of Bruster’s ice cream, the opportunity to mentor young adults, and the inclusive culture of the privately-owned company. Read more about his story here.
“At my Discovery Day I met the great people on the corporate team and the culture felt like a family. I just knew I could be successful with Bruster’s.”
– Dan Tarkoff
