Ice cream chain Baskin-Robbins plan to expand its franchise base in Atlanta with 60 new stores over the next several years.

The move is part of the Canton, Mass.-based company’s push to double its U.S. presence. Baskin-Robbins opened more than 600 stores around the world in 2008 and has a total of more than 2,700 stores in the United States, including four locations in metro Atlanta and 35 stores across Georgia.

“As the Baskin-Robbins brand continues to develop in Atlanta, we’re now looking for large area developers in the metro Atlanta area with strong financial backgrounds, a passion for their local communities and a desire to manage multiple stores,” said Salman Siddiqui, vice president of franchising and development for Baskin-Robbins, in a statement.
