In 1978, the same year that Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream was founded in Vermont, two entrepreneurs in New Hampshire started a small poster company that evolved into White Mountain Puzzles. Ben & Jerry’s rapidly became a national brand and was sold to food giant Unilever in 2000. White Mountain Puzzles grew more gradually and is still a family owned business. Founders Cronan Minton and Ted Wroblewski are still involved but have turned over the day to day operations and ownership to their respective sons, Sean and Colin.
