Dean Bankruptcy Hits Dave's Ice Cream in the Flavor Saver

Dave's Ice Cream has a factory capable of making 50,000 gallons of ice cream each month in Hawaii and sells about 15,000 gallons to restaurants and stores in Hawaii. The company formerly distributed its ice cream via Dean Foods subsidiary Meadow Gold Dairies-Hawaii. But starting next month, Meadow Gold will start to import ice cream from its plant in Utah to Hawaii. According to the AP, the shakeup will cut Dave's Ice Cream's business by $1 million annually. That's about a third of the business. Dean recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and says the change will help centralize manufacturing. Owner Dave Leong is now scrambling to work out direct supply deals with restaurants. To make sure restaurants can still get their hands on Dave's Rainbow Sherbet, Green Tea and Ube (an island favorite that combines purple yam and vanilla ice cream). Leong says, it's the first time he's had to make sales calls in more than 20 years.
