    Baskin-Robbins will open 40 stores over the next four years, beginning with one this spring in the Dublin/Hilliard area, said James Franks, national director of franchising.

    This makes the second time in less than a year that Dunkin’ Brands has announced plans to drastically increase the calorie count in central Ohio. In April, the company said it plans to add 83 Dunkin’ Donut shops in the Columbus area within five years.

    Even without a major push by Baskin-Robbins, competition for the ice-cream dollar has been intensifying, with companies such as Cold Stone Creamery, Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream & Yogurt and Jeni’s Ice Cream making a strong charge in recent years.
