NEWPORT, R.I. – Tyler Rosenberg, 26, of Newport, Rhode Island is officially the youngest Ben & Jerry’s franchise owner in all of the United States.

For more than 12 years, the 26-year-old has spent his summers working at Ben & Jerry’s.

During a walk with a former franchise owner, he was offered an opportunity to scoop up two locations.

While taking over during a trying time for the economy was a risk, he’s got high hopes for the future and the cherry on top is seeing future success.
