Bassetts Ice Cream is in China!

In May 2008, the first order of Bassetts Ice Cream was sent by container ship to Beijing, China.  In July 2008, the first overseas ice cream shop serving Bassetts Ice Cream was opened in Yantai, a coastal city southeast of Beijing, by Mr. Sun Gongyun (James Sun). Two additional store locations were opened in Taiyuan and another just celebrated a grand opening in Fuzhou.  Mr. Sun established the Beijing Sino-American Food Company in order to introduce Bassetts "World Famous" Ice Cream to this rapidly developing market.  In addition to his ice cream shops, Mr. Sun is distributing Bassetts Ice Cream to restaurants, hotels and grocery stores.  Today, China is the second largest market for Bassetts Ice Cream Company, outside the Philadelphia area.  Recently, Bassetts President Michael Strange and Reading Terminal Market store operator Roger Bassett traveled to China to meet with Mr. Sun and visit the stores and see future sites for Bassetts Ice Cream locations in China.
