Blue Bell Creameries Corporate Office

Blue Bell Creameries

Blue Bell Creameries was founded in 1907 as The Brenham Creamery Company. The creamery purchased extra cream from dairy farmers and sell butter. In 1911 the company began to produce ice cream, making only 2 gallons a day and delivering it via a horse-drawn cart.

The company was renamed Blue Bell in 1930 after the Texas Bluebell, a wildflower native to Texas.

History

By the 1960’s the company concentrated solely on the production of ice cream.

In 1980 Blue Bell was producing over 10 million gallons of ice cream per day and had $30 million in sales.

An Instagram video in June 2019, went viral when a young woman at a Walmart in Texas, was seen removing the lid on a gallon of Blue Bell ice cream, licking the top, replacing the lid and then placing the ice cream back in the freezer. The ice-cream licker was later identified as a 17-year-old minor.

This incident prompted several copy cat ice cream lickers, including a man in Louisiana. This prompted some stores to post security guards in front of ice cream freezers.

Today Blue Bell is the third-best-selling ice cream brand in the United States despite only being sold in 23 states.

The corporate office for Blue Bell ice cream is located in Brenham, Texas.
