Oklahoma’s home-grown ice cream giant Braum’s and its herd of dairy cows continue to churn out its frozen delights at a high rate, but the coronavirus is making its acquisitions of meat and eggs hard to come by, a company spokesman tells Southwest Ledger.
“We continue to supply or trademark ice creams, fresh produce, bread, and yogurt, to all of our stores, but we are having some trouble keeping our eggs and meats on the shelves because of the high demand,” company spokeswoman Amanda Beuchaw said.
“Those items are selling out as soon as we can get them.”
As for its trademark creamy desserts, Beuchaw said they are still producing and selling, and customers are still buying at normal rates.
“We’re still selling and people are still buying and, so far, the cows are still doing their part,” she said.
The company has had no reports of anyone working in the company’s factory or stores testing positive for the virus.
“The Braum family always insisted upon a very rigorous cleaning and sanitizing daily effort,” Beuchaw said. “They were absolutely insistent on it.”
