Five Points is about to get cooler. Ben & Jerry\u2019s announced it\u2019s opening an ice cream parlor<\/a> at 1027 Park St.<\/p>\n

Famous for its colorful ice cream containers and flavors like Cherry Garcia and Phish Food, Ben & Jerry\u2019s was founded in 1978 by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield in Burlington, Vermont.<\/p>\n

The co-founders have long been vocal on a range of social issues. Unilever acquired Ben & Jerry\u2019s in 2000 for $326 million. Jerry Greenfield quit in September saying the independence he once had to speak on social issues was stifled by the parent owner, according to the Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n
