Blue Bell will bring back 215 of its employees.
“This phase includes most of Alabama and Texas and it is our largest phase so far.”
To begin phase three, Blue Bell will bring back 215 of its employees who were put on paid furlough earlier this year.
Blue Bell has moved carefully into each phase, building up its inventory before it begins to service a new area.
“Our Broken Arrow (Oklahoma) and Sylacauga (Alabama) production facilities have been in operation for several months now allowing us to build our inventory,” Dickson said. “And, we look to have our Brenham facility back in operation soon. We want to make sure that we can properly service each account with an adequate supply of products before moving to the next phase.”
For now Blue Bell is producing five flavors of ice cream in the half gallon and pint sizes: Buttered Pecan, Cookies ’n Cream, Dutch Chocolate, Homemade Vanilla and The Great Divide.
More flavors will be added in the future. 12-pak Homemade Vanilla Cups and 12-pak Homemade Vanilla and Dutch Chocolate Cups are also available in stores. ■
