Comings and Goings: Ben & Jerry’s Closes

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream store at 14 Post Road East, Westport, has closed its doors. A note on the door said: “This store’s franchise agreement has ended with Ben & Jerry’s. Thus the store has now closed. Thank you for your business.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

Why? The landlord? The franchisor? The economy? Greed?
Fairfield’s Sunny Daes ice ceam is planning to open on the west side of the Saugatuck. so we’ll at least have them and Baskins Robbins.

Not enough business, I’d guess. But it’s a bummer no matter why it happened.

Could there be a limit to how many $ 5 ice cream cones a store can sell in Westport?
Maggie Moo’s went out of business as well.
