Despite its bucolic trademark of a barefoot country girl leading a milk cow, ice cream maker Blue Bell Creameries means big business. It offers some 50 different ice cream flavors. And although Blue Bell is still considered a regional brand (with distribution in fewer than 20 US states), it is one of the US's most popular ice cream brands. In addition to ice cream, the company sells yogurt, frozen treats (ice cream sandwiches, fruit pops), sherbet, and low-fat and sugar-free ice creams. Blue Bell continues to expand from its strong regional base in Texas and surrounding areas, but no giant-corporation tactics for this company -- it retains total control over production and distribution of its products.
