The founders of the company are Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. They met and become friends in middle school located in Long Island, New York. They moved to Vermont and completed a course in ice creaming from Penn State. For those who don't know where Penn State is it is located in Pennsylvania. Before they were even known, they had seen a lot of the eastern coast and that helped them come up with some of their early designs.
It was 1978 when they opened their first store. They invested only $12,000 and only borrowed four thousand dollars. This is relatively small amount for start up capital. Today, you wouldn't even pay your rent with $16,000, but Ben and Jerry made it happen. They opened their first store in Burlington, Vermont. Here they become well known for their parties. They would sell their ice cream and project movies on the side of a wall of a run-down gas station.
