The Boulder-based publication Daily Camera reports that
Boulder's Glacier Homemade Ice Cream & Gelato has reached an
agreement with Shanghai-based Barony Hotels & Resorts Worldwide
which will see Glacier franchised throughout China. Barony, a developer
of more than 20 business and resort hotels
in China, plans to open seven
Glacier locations within one year. The eight-year-old Glacier is known
for selling "artisan" ice cream. This summer, five people from
China will come to Boulder to train at Glacier's stores. The
company reports that while it may grow in China, it will still be
cautious about over-extending the Glacier brand domestically.
