It was kinda like a play store that some kids set up.   A cozy space with lightly stocked shelves.    I visited back in Feb or March.  Thought there was no way that was going to last without stuff on the shelves - reasonably priced or otherwise

We need the kind of selection Braums carries in their grocery section. All the basics, reasonable prices.

Heck, just build a Braum's.

I'd love to see a gourmet ice cream in the Brady district.   Braums doesn't fit that bill..     But a Braums would probably work in Blue Dome / east village.

I'm told OKC has begged the Braum's family to open a store in downtown OKC with no luck.

We don't have Mayfield's around this part of the country, so who would be better???   (Hint:  none!)

We have a Marble Slab out here in BA. A little to pricey for Ice Cream IMO.
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.

Even if not urban, they could build at 8th and Elgin or by TCC and probably do well. Catch all the people going in/out of downtown. Odds are a few hundred downtown workers promised to get milk on the way home each day.

And definitely not gourmet ice cream!


Point of reference;  my homemade ice cream IS gourmet ice cream!

No.  Small local, regional dairy companies.

There is one in Milwaukee area, too, that is good - can't remember name.

We just don't have any of those within 1,000 miles of here....  Well, maybe 800 miles, but 1,000 sounds more dramatic.


Marble Slab and Dippin' Dots are the two that are here that try to come off as 'gourmet'.  But aren't.  So, we got Braum's - which really isn't bad for whipped, emulsified ice cream!  Actually, very good!

Isn't dippin' dots just wax balls?   Also, I never feel compelled to buy ice cream "of the future"... seems like it can wait until tomorrow.

Doesn't BA/Coweta have an ice cream factory?

Does Borden make any ice cream at their plant on the west edge of Brady/east edge of social services district.
