Braums

[Who Cares]

They were suppost to expand/rebuild the 15th and lewis store a few years ago, but got into right of way issues with ODOT. Seems ODOT didn't want braums to expand any further North. Note also that this store has no drive-thur. Yeah I have to agree that Braums service sucks.

The Braums' I frequent most are the 71st & 169 and 51st & Yale locations.  They are clean enough and  the customer service is fine, if a little slow at times.  I've liked pretty much everything I've ever bought from Braums, can't say that about many stores.  But yeah, losing the sherbets stinks.

They said they were no longer making it...

If a retail store employee told you that, it may or may not be true.

My favorite Braums ice cream for the past 25 years (the light ice cream flavor "After Dinner Mint") comes and goes.  It is readily available right now, but there have been many times in the past when it has disappeared from their retail stores for months at a time.

They must suspend some production, introduce new product, and bring back flavors as public tastes, season and demand changes.  I would be very surprised if they eliminated lime and orange sherbet permanently.  These are basic staple flavors, like vanilla or chocolate!  I don't buy sherbet very often, but when I do, it is usually orange.

I'll tell ya what chaps my butt with Braum's...

Used to, you could drive through for breakfast, get some biscuits and gravy or whatever AND a gallon or half gallon of milk. No more. If you want a carton of milk, you have to go inside. Stupid.

thats because of their lame marketing scheme that you will buy more groceries if you go in.  i think they call it fresh market or some crap.

No way would they give up Sherbert at Braums!  For a lot of people who don't eat milk products,  sherbert is all they can eat because it's made with water.

Having been a Sherbet farmer for more than 30 years, (you may have have been to the fair and seen Sherbet my children raised in FFA).

With the price of corn going up as well as transportation costs skyrocketing, it didnt make any sense to raise Sherbet for dessert food anymore.  Typcial economic pressures caused us to reengineer our Sherbet operation up here in Pawnee County.

Nowadays we raise Sherbet for their meat and their hides, only.  Prices are good but with all this rain we have been having..........
