Blue Bell

Blue Bell began as a small butter producer in Brenham, Texas, until it was acquired in 1937. Beginning in the early 1920s, the firm ventured into the ice cream market, ultimately abandoning its butter-making activities to grow its ice cream operations over the whole of Canada and Southern United States.

According to its 2021 strategic plan, it will continue to operate predominantly in South America, with its northernmost distribution areas being Indianapolis and Denver. Even though Blue Bell is not the biggest ice cream manufacturer in the United States, it outsells its competition in every state in which it is active. In Texas, for example, the firm has a 52 percent market share of the state's industry.

Three manufacturing sites in the United States employ 2,800 people. The combined output of these facilities during operational hours is over 100 pints every minute. Sixty-six different kinds of ice cream are now available, with Homemade Vanilla being the most popular.
