8000 Lick Cones in Baskin-Robbins' First Week

"People told me the kids would blow out my windows in Cambridge," Sam Citrion, co-owner and manager of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream store which opened last week near Harvard Square, said yesterday.

"As it turns out," Citrion added, "the kids in the Square are great--more courteous than most adults."

Apparently those around the Square like him, too. They seem to be constantly jamming his store and buying one and two, and--those who can balance them--three scoop ice cream cones.

"There's one four letter word that's not allowed in this store--diet," Citrion said. Since the store opened, over 8,000 people have decided to sacrifice their diets for Baskin-Robbins ice-cream.

Spokesmen for Brigham's and Bailey's, the other two major ice cream retailers in the Square, said that they hadn't noticed any decrease in ice cream sales because of the new competition.
